I Said My Pajamas (And Put On My Prayers)

My baby 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 opened the stairs.

I said my pajamas and put on my prayers.

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 prayers.

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 preacher 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.
