I Said My Pajamas (And Put On My Pray'rs) (Version 1)

My baby kissed me goodnight

And I am glad to relate

That by the time I got home

I was feeling great

I climbed up the door and opened the stairs

Said my pyjamas and put on my prayers

Turned off the bed and crawled into the light

And all because you kissed me goodnight

Next morning I woke and scrambled my shoes

Shined up an egg, then I toast to the news

I buttered my tie and took another bite

And all because you kissed me goodnight

By evening I felt normal, so we went out again

You said goodnight and kissed me

I hurried home and then

I climbed up the door and opened the stairs

Said my pyjamas and put on my prayer's

Turned off the bed and crawled into the light

And all because you kissed me goodnight

That's exactly what happened the night before last time

Now, wait when I tell you what happened last night

I powdered my hair and pinned up my nose

Hung up the bath and I turned on my clothes

Put out the clock and wound the cat up tight

And all because you kissed me goodnight

I ran up the shade and pulled down the stair

Curled up the rug and I vacuumed my hair

I just couldn't tell my left foot from my right

And all because you kissed me goodnight

By evening I felt normal, so we went out again

You said goodnight and kissed me

I hurried home and then

I lifted the preacher, called up the phone

I spoke to the dog and I threw my ma a bone

It was midnight and yet the sun was shining bright

And all because you kissed me

Goodnight
