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

Oh, worry, worry, weary ends my day
Comes the time to go home without my 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 home so late one evening last July
Played a little poker; the time had passed me by
Shoes in my hand and my darling wife in bed
Up the stairs saying a prayer
Then a voice comes through the air

Hi ya 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 eyes are black
Because the doorway hit you back
Tell me a story, then I'll go to bed

Once upon a time I remember long ago . . .

Don't go back in history
Your memory's kinda slow

Stop your noisy talking
Til I finish with my tale
Once upon a . . .

Upon a what???

Upon your back you'll get a swat

Tell me about the fish you caught
That'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 in so I'll be good

Here's a tale you'll never forget

Ow!!
My tails all red

And now get up to bed

Ha, ha come on Daddy
Tell me a story
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

Oh, worry, worry, weary ends my day
Comes the time to go home without my 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 home so late one evening last July
Played a little poker; the time had passed me by
Shoes in my hand and my darling wife in bed
Up the stairs saying a prayer
Then a voice comes through the air

Hi ya 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 eyes are black
Because the doorway hit you back
Tell me a story, then I'll go to bed

Once upon a time I remember long ago . . .

Don't go back in history

You gotta give in so I'll be good

Here's a tale you'll never forget

Ow!!
My tails all red

And now get up to bed

Ha, ha come on Daddy
Tell me a story
