  • Song Lyrics:
    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
    Figured I could get the paper, so the neighbors wouldn't see
    So I sneaked out on the porch, very, very quietly
    Wham went the dish pan, then came a holler, up went the neighbor's shade
    It was Mother's little darling, out on a commando raid

    Came home late from a picture. I was tired, my shoes were tight
    Took off my stockings, dropped my girdle
    Got undressed and pulled the light. boy!
    Slipped into my night gown, then tiptoed across the floor
    Better have a look at Junior, so I peeked into his door
    Clang, clang, clang went a cowbell, whee went a whistle, I nearly had a stroke
    It was mother's precious baby, just havin' his little joke

    Always just when I'm breathin' a peaceful sigh
    There's G-Men, coppers and robbers and hi-yo silver!
    Bam went the book case, boot went the fruit bowl, boom went the glass bouquet
    But he smiles and what's the difference and maybe some Mother's Day
    I'll remember when, bang went the lamp, down went the table
    Crash went the tray, rip rip went the curtain, wham went a window
    Clang went a bell, whee went a whistle, bam went a pan, slam went a door
    On that eventful day, when his rocking horse ran away
    (I B Emerson)
