Tell Me A Story Lyrics

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
