Lyrics

Tell me a story tell me a story Tell me a story remember what you said You promised me you said you would You gotta give in so i'll be good Tell me a story then i'll go to bed Oh worry worry weary ends ma day Comes the time to go home Without ma raise in pay Home by the fire where a man can just relax Slippers there by the chair Not a worry not a care Along comes junior swinging his little axe Tell me a story tell me a story Tell me a story remember what you said Tell me about the birds and bees How do you make a chicken sneeze Tell me a story then i'll go to bed Came so late one evening last july Played a little the poker the time had passed me by Shoes in my hand and my darlin wife in bed Up the stairs sayin a prayer Then a voice comes through the air Hi there daddy remember what you said Tell me a story tell me a story Tell me how your eyes are glassed Because it's only if your bad Tell me a story then i'll go to bed Once a upon a time i remember long ago Don't go back in years through your memories kinda slow Stop your noisy talkin till i've finished with ma tale Once upon Upon a what Upon your back you'll get a swat Tell me about the fishy cause it's bigger than a whale Tell me a story tell me a story Tell me a story remember what you said You promised me you said you would You gotta give so i'll be good Here's a tale you'll never forget Whack whack whack Ouch ma tails all red And now get off to bed Aw come on daddy tell me a story hee hee
