[Junior:]
|
Tell me story, tell me story
|
Tell me story, remember what you said
|
You promised me you said you would
|
You got to give in so I'll be good
|
Tell me a story, then I'll go to bed
|
|
[Father:]
|
Oh, worry, worry, weary ends my day
|
Time to go home without my raise in pay
|
Home by the fire where a man can just relax
|
Sippers there by the chair, not a worry, not a care
|
Along comes Junior swinging his little axe
|
|
[Junior:]
|
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
|
|
[Father:]
|
Came home so late one evening last July
|
Played a little 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....
|
|
[Junior:]
|
Hi you there, Daddy
|
Remember what you said
|
|
Tell me a story, tell me a story
|
Tell me a story, remember what you said
|
Tell me how your eye got black
|
Because the doorway hit you back
|
Tell me a story, then I'll go to bed
|
|
[Father:]
|
Once upon a time I remember long ago
|
|
[Junior:]
|
Don't go back in history
|
Your memory's kinda slow
|
|
[Father:]
|
Stop your noisy talkin'
|
Until I finish with my tale
|
Once upon a...
|
|
[Junior:]
|
Upon a what...
|
|
[Father:]
|
Upon your back you'll get a swat
|
|
[Junior:]
|
Tell me about the fish you caught
|
That's was bigger than a whale
|
|
[Junior:]
|
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
|
|
[Father:]
|
Here's a tale you'll never forget
|
(Tap, tap, tap)
|
|
[Junior:]
|
Ouch
|
My tails all red
|
|
[Father:]
|
And now get up to bed
|
|
[Junior:]
|
Ha, ha come on Daddy
|
Tell me a story
|
Hee, hee
|
