Lyrics The Woody Woodpecker - The Andrews Sisters, Danny Kaye

The Woody Woodpecker

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
