Tell Me A Bedtime Story 1923 "The 3rd Annual Music Box Revue 1923-24"

Pretty little Flo
sitting with her beau
in the parlor list'ning to a radio
twelve o'clock is striking
and there's no more radio
Tenderly the maiden whispers
dear before you go...

Tell me a bed time story
before you kiss me good night,
before you go away
I'd like to hear you say
that your love is everlasting
please begin broadcasting
and maybe your tired baby
will go and turn down the light
before I climb the stairs
and say my evening prayers
won't you tell me a bed time story.

Tell me a bed time story
before you kiss me good night,
before you go away
I'd like to hear you say
that your love is everlasting
please begin broadcasting
and maybe your tired baby
will go and turn down the light
before I climb the stairs
and say my evening prayers
won't you tell me a bed time story.
