I Said My Pajamas (And Put On My Prayers) - Ethel Merman, Ray Bolger

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.
