I Said My Pajamas (And Put on My Prayers) Songtext
von Doris Day

My baby kissed me goodnight,
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 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 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 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 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 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 my Ma a bone.
'Twas mid-night and yet,
The sun was shining bright.
And all because you kissed me goodnight.
