His Rocking Horse Ran Away - Betty Hutton/Ted Weems
I must sit down for a minute
I'm ready to fall in a heap
Willie's been fed
And I've tucked him in bed
Thank goodness the darling's asleep
He's a wonderful boy
And a joy and a boon
Ahh gee
You should have seen him this afternoon
Bang went the bridge lamp
Down went the table
Crash went the china tray
But he said I couldn't help it
My rocking horse ran away
Rip rip went the curtain
We went the window
Crunch went the new buffet
And I heard him tell his daddy
My rocking horse ran away
Somehow Indians got into our front room
Our cowboy grabbed
For his gun and went boom
Boom boom boom boom
Slam went the screen door
Smash went the mirror
Looks like I'll soon be gray
But he smiles and what's the difference
And maybe some Mother's Day
I'll remember when his rocking horse ran away
Got up early this morning
Wore a flimsy negligee
Had to hurry to fix the breakfast
And get daddy on his way
Figured I could get the paper
So the neighbors wouldn't see
So I sneaked out on the porch
Very very quietly
We went the dish pan
Then came a holler
Up went the neighbor's shade
It was Mother's little darling
Out on a commando raid
Came home late from a picture
I was tired
My shoes were tight
Took off my stockings
Dropped my girdle
Got undressed and pulled the light
Boy
Slipped into my night gown
Then tiptoed across the floor
Better have a look at Junior
So I peeked into his door
Clang
Clang clang went a cowbell
We went a whistle
I nearly had a stroke
It was mother's precious baby
Just having his little joke
Always just when
I'm breathing a peaceful sigh
There's G-Men
Coppers and robbers
And hi yo silver
Bam went the book case
Boot went the fruit bowl
Boom went the glass bouquet
But he smiles and what's the difference
And maybe some mother's day
I'll remember when
Bang went the lamp
Down went the table
Crash went the tray
Rip rip went the curtain
We went a window
Clang went a bell
We went a whistle
Bam went a pan
Slam went a door
On that eventful day
When his rocking horse ran away
