It started way back, with my Great Grandpa Jack
When he bought his first pair of pajamas
When put to the test, they enticed him to rest
So he went back to buy some for Grandma
There were all different hues, from yellows to blues
There were drop-seats and booties and more
Some had buttons, some snaps, some were perfect for naps
So he just had to buy the whole store
And from there he kept buying though Grandma kept trying
To stop him it was quite useless
So pajama obsessed that whenever he dressed
For other than bed, he went suitless
He liked polka dots, plaids & paisleys in green
He'd try them all one and he'd prance and he'd preen
There were checkered and speckled and robin's egg blue
The pajama parade was from 10 until 2
He had children galore and they, too liked to snore
The whole family collected the sleepwear
And the house was so packed with pajamas so stacked
There was nothing else that you could keep there
They were piled to the ceiling and all so appealing
With colors and choices so wide
Some had small matching hats or had wings like a bat's
Or had feather or fins on each side
By the time I'd arrived, the collection had thrived
And been passed down to my generations
And I counted last night, and believe if I am right
There's a thousand pairs here for temptation
I've got polka dots, plaids & paisleys in green
I try them all one and I prance and he'd preen
There were checkered and speckled and robin's egg blue
The pajama parade was from 10 until 2
One thousand pairs of pajamas
More common than dollies or llamas
I've tried six hundred on with four hundred to go
And just when I'll finish, I don't think I know
So don't ask me to snooze - I'm too busy to choose
Amoung one thousand pairs of pajamas
When mom says, "Time for bed",
I say "Can't we instead
Play dress up for I'm young and I am hardy!"
There's so many to try, such an ample supply
It's a "trying pajamas on" party
And since I can't decide in which pair to reside
I've saved up my very last penny
And I'm quick to depart on a trip to the mart
To buy more, for there's never too many
So come visit me won't you? You like parades don't you?
We'll ask the whole neighborhood over
No one needs to go bare, I am happy to share
And we'll waltz our pajamas through clover
We'll wear polka dots, plaids & paisleys in green
We'll try them all on and we'll prance and he'd preen
We'll wear checkered and speckled and robin's egg blue
The pajama parade was from 10 until 2
And at 3, well, we'll see
We might catch a few winks
One or two, then wake up for the purples and pinks
It's the greatest selection this side of the moon
So, you won't catch us slumbering anytime soon!
One thousand pairs of pajamas
