Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tell Me a Story (Frankie Laine/Jimmy Boyd
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Tell me a story...'
Hmmmm. I thought it was, "Tell me a story, or I won't go to bed." Before you brought it up, I guess I had thought it just came up through my own family in Detroit. I guess it must have an origin somewhere, and probably not from the Offer Family of Detroit. Do you think somebody could get a PhD out of researching that one?

I think it's kind of like those camp songs that you thought came from your very own talented counselors at your very own wonderful camp:
Hoo-Rah, Camp Catspaw!
Hoo-Rah, Camp Catspaw!
Hoo-Rah, Camp Catspaw!
Our very favorite camp!
And then you realize that Camp Snakespit had the very same song.
