Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Tell me a story...'
Got the lyrics, Gene?
I'm SURE they musta learned it from my dad...
There's a sound clip of the Frankie Laine recording here (click). It says the songwriter is Gilkyson - I imagine that's Terry Gilkyson.

I found a snippet of the lyrics: Tell Me a Story - Jimmy Boyd
"Tell me a story, tell me a story,
Remember what you said.
Tell me about the birds and bees,
How to make the kitten sneeze,
Tell me a story and then I'll go to bed"
It "ends" with a spanking.
