lyrics

My Daddy Tells Me Stories


Would you like to come to my house?
Would you like to come round & play?
I’ve got all sorts of games & a tree house
Bring your night things. Why not stay?

We’ll make our own tea & wash up our cups
Play scrabble & monopoly.
Then we’ll pack them away, yes, we’ll tidy up
Um no, we don’t have a tv.

You can sleep in my bed
I’m OK fine on the floor
Sleep over please, as I’m living in dread
I can’t take anymore.

Chorus
My daddy tells me stories
Every single night
My daddy tells me stories
Then he puts out the light


See, my dad thinks that too many kids these days
Don’t use their imaginations.
Make your own entertainment he always says
Even though I’d just love a Play Station.

What do you do at your place?
Can I come round & some time?
A decent nights’ sleep wouldn’t go amiss
I never get one at mine.

Chorus
My daddy tells me stories
Every single night
My daddy tells me stories
Then he puts out the light


Skulls peer out of the cupboards
Boggarts crawl under my bed.
While I hide under the covers
Harpies swirl round my head.

Chorus
My daddy tells me stories
Every single night
My daddy tells me stories
Then he turns out the light.


Why are you ringing your mother?
What’s that strange look on your face?
Don’t be so bothered for soon you’ll discover
By morning there’s not a trace.

If Mr Miacca chops off your leg
‘though it might make you scream.
Don’t be ashamed about wetting the bed
Think of it just as a dream.

Chorus
My daddy tells me stories
Every single night
My daddy tells me stories
Then he puts out the light

There’s a minotaur behind the door
There’s wolves inside the walls
Outside the Beasts’ of Dartmoor’s
Choir caterwauls.
