| My ba-by kissed me good-night, and I am glad to relate
|
| That by the time I got home, I was feeling great
|
| I climbed up the door and o-pened the stairs.
|
| I said my pajamas and put on my pray’rs.
|
| I turned off the bed and crawled into the light.
|
| And all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight.
|
| Next morning, I woke and scrambled my shoes.
|
| I shined up an egg, then I toasted the news,
|
| I buttered my tie and took another bite.
|
| And all because you kissed me (Kiss) 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.
|
| I said my pajamas and put on my prayr’s.
|
| I turned off the bed and crawled into the light,
|
| And all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight.
|
| I powdered my hair and pinned up my nose.
|
| I hung up the bath and I turned on my clothes.
|
| I put out the clock and wound the cat up tight,
|
| And all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight.
|
| I ran up the shade and pulled down the stair.
|
| I 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 (Kiss) 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 preach’r and called up the phone.
|
| I spoke to the dog and I threw your Ma a bone.
|
| 'Twas mid-night and yet, the sun was shining bright.
|
| And all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight. |
