1000 Pairs Of Pajamas

6 views

Lyrics

It started way back, with my Great Grandpa Jack
 When he bought his first pair of pajamas
 When put to the test, they enticed him to rest
 So he went back to buy some for Grandma
 There were all different hues, from yellows to blues
 There were drop-seats and booties and more
 Some had buttons, some snaps, some were perfect for naps
 So he just had to buy the whole store
 And from there he kept buying though Grandma kept trying
 To stop him it was quite useless
 So pajama obsessed that whenever he dressed
 For other than bed, he went suitless
 He liked polka dots, plaids & paisleys in green
 He'd try them all one and he'd prance and he'd preen
 There were checkered and speckled and robin's egg blue
 The pajama parade was from 10 until 2
 He had children galore and they, too liked to snore
 The whole family collected the sleepwear
 And the house was so packed with pajamas so stacked
 There was nothing else that you could keep there
 They were piled to the ceiling and all so appealing
 With colors and choices so wide
 Some had small matching hats or had wings like a bat's
 Or had feather or fins on each side
 By the time I'd arrived, the collection had thrived
 And been passed down to my generations
 And I counted last night, and believe if I am right
 There's a thousand pairs here for temptation
 I've got polka dots, plaids & paisleys in green
 I try them all one and I prance and he'd preen
 There were checkered and speckled and robin's egg blue
 The pajama parade was from 10 until 2
 One thousand pairs of pajamas
 More common than dollies or llamas
 I've tried six hundred on with four hundred to go
 And just when I'll finish, I don't think I know
 So don't ask me to snooze - I'm too busy to choose
 Amoung one thousand pairs of pajamas
 When mom says, "Time for bed",
 I say "Can't we instead
 Play dress up for I'm young and I am hardy!"
 There's so many to try, such an ample supply
 It's a "trying pajamas on" party
 And since I can't decide in which pair to reside
 I've saved up my very last penny
 And I'm quick to depart on a trip to the mart
 To buy more, for there's never too many
 So come visit me won't you? You like parades don't you?
 We'll ask the whole neighborhood over
 No one needs to go bare, I am happy to share
 And we'll waltz our pajamas through clover
 We'll wear polka dots, plaids & paisleys in green
 We'll try them all on and we'll prance and he'd preen
 We'll wear checkered and speckled and robin's egg blue
 The pajama parade was from 10 until 2
 And at 3, well, we'll see
 We might catch a few winks
 One or two, then wake up for the purples and pinks
 It's the greatest selection this side of the moon
 So, you won't catch us slumbering anytime soon!
 One thousand pairs of pajamas
 More common than dollies or llamas
 I've tried six hundred on with four hundred to go
 And just when I'll finish, I don't think I know
 So don't ask me to snooze - I'm too busy to choose
 Amoung one thousand pairs of pajamas
