Megan wrote to me looking for the lyrics to a song:
Hi my name is Megan I was hoping u might be able to help me with a song that my mum has been singing to me. The words I do know are:
Tell me a story tell me a story
tell me a story before I go to bed
u promised me u said u would
u better give in and I’ll be good
so tell me a story and then I’ll go to bedI do believe there are more words to the song if u would b able to help that would b great thanks!
I’ve only been able to find these slightly different lyrics:
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a story before I go to bed;
You promised me, you said you would,
You gotta give in ‘cause I’ve been good,
Tell me a story before I go to bed.
If anyone can help with additional lyrics, or information about this song, or if anyone would like to send in a recording, please comment below or email me.
Thanks!
Lisa

Gosh, the first time I heard this little song was 1961, when I was in first grade. My teacher, Mrs. Anne Glavan said she sang it to her daughters at bed time, and she then taught it to her students.

Tell Me a Story, Tell me a story you promised me, you said you would, you gotta give in so I’ll be good, tell me a story then I’ll go to bed. Came home so late one evening last July, played a little poker, the time had passed me by. Shoes in my hand and my Darling wife in bed, up the stairs saying a prayer, then A voice came through the air, hi ya there Daddy, remember what you said. tell me a story, tell me a story remember what you said, you promised me you said you would now tell me a story before I go bed. Once upon a time I remember long ago, don’t go back in history your memory’s kind of slow, stop your noisy chatting while I finish with my tale, tell me about the fish you caught thats bigger than a whale. Tell me a story, tell me a story remember what you said, you promised me, you said you would you gotta give in so I’ll be good tell me a story and then I’ll go to bed.
