The Woody Wood Pecker Song - Danny Kaye, The Andrews Sisters

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

tell me a story then i’ll go to bed

Oh worry worry weary ends ma day

comes the time to go home

without ma raise in pay

home by the fire where a man can just relax

slippers there by the chair

not a worry not a care

along comes junior swinging his little axe

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

Came so late one evening last july

played a little the 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

Hi there daddy remember what you said

tell me a story tell me a story

tell me how your eyes are glassed

because it’s only if your bad

tell me a story then i’ll go to bed

Once a upon a time i remember long ago

don’t go back in years through your memories kinda slow

stop your noisy talkin till i’ve finished with ma tale

once upon

upon a what

upon your back you’ll get a swat

Tell me about the fishy cause it’s bigger than a whale

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 so i’ll be good

Here’s a tale you’ll never forget

whack whack whack

ouch ma tails all red

and now get off to bed

aw come on daddy tell me a story hee hee
