His Rocking Horse Ran Away Lyrics

His Rocking Horse Ran Away lyrics

I must sit down for a minute, I'm ready to fall in a heap
Willie's been fed
and I've tucked him in bed, thank goodness the darling's asleep
He's a
wonderful boy and a joy and a boon

SPOKEN: Ahh, gee, you should have
seen him this afternoon

Bang went the bridge lamp, down went the table,
crash went the china tray
But he said "I couldn't help it, my rocking horse
ran away!"
Rip rip went the curtain, wham went the window, crunch went the
new buffet
And I heard him tell his daddy "My rocking horse ran
away"

Somehow Indians got into our front room
Our cowboy grabbed for
his gun and went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Slam went the screen door,
smash went the mirror, looks like I'll soon be gray
But he smiles and what's
the difference and maybe some Mother's Day
I'll remember when his rocking
horse ran away

Got up early this morning, wore a flimsy negligee
Had
to hurry to fix the breakfast and get daddy on his way
Figured I could get
the paper, so the neighbors wouldn't see
So I sneaked out on the porch,
very, very quietly
Wham went the dish pan, then came a holler, up went the
neighbor's shade
It was Mother's little darling, out on a commando
raid

Came home late from a picture. I was tired, my shoes were
tight
Took off my stockings, dropped my girdle
Got undressed and pulled
the light. boy!
Slipped into my night gown, then tiptoed across the
floor
Better have a look at Junior, so I peeked into his door
Clang,
clang, clang went a cowbell, whee went a whistle, I nearly had a stroke
It
was mother's precious baby, just havin' his little joke

Always just when
I'm breathin' a peaceful sigh
There's G-Men, coppers and robbers and hi-yo
silver!
Bam went the book case, boot went the fruit bowl, boom went the
glass bouquet
But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some
mother's day
I'll remember when, bang went the lamp, down went the
table
Crash went the tray, rip rip went the curtain, wham went a
window
Clang went a bell, whee went a whistle, bam went a pan, slam went a
door
On that eventful day, when his rocking horse ran away
