His Rocking Horse Ran Away - Betty Hutton

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

SPOKEN: 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, wham 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
