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.
