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

I Said My Pajamas (And Put On My Prayers)

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.
