I Said My Pajanas (And Put on My Pray’rs) 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.
