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, and 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

"That's exactly what happened the night before last
Now wait'll I tell ya what happen last night"

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 midnight, and yet the sun was shining bright
And all because you kissed me...goodnight
