I've got so much to say, baby, ha
 But so little time to say it in
 But whatever I tell ya'
 I hope that you will obey

 Now listen
 Say your prayers ev'ry night
 And be so good while I'm away
 Now listen here
 Say your prayers ev'ry night
 and be so good while I'm away
 Because you know I won't be gone for long
 I'll be back home with you one of these little old days, hmm-mm

 I know, I know, I know

 As I'd have said so many times
 I got so much to say and so little time to say it in
 So much to say and so little time to say it in
 And I know you'll be be a good little girl
 while I'm away
 Oh yeah hmm
