All Because You Kissed Me Goodni

All Because You Kissed Me Goodnight

by Edward Pola

I climbed up the door, and opened 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 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 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.

I lifted the preacher and called up the phone;

I spoke to the dog, and I threw your Ma a bone;

'Twas midnight, and yet the sun was shining bright,

And all because you kissed me goodnight.
