It's time now to pick all the toys off the floor I'll say it again and I've said it before We don't have a nickel to spend at the store And don't run away from me now Your daddy's gone looking to find him a job Your grandmother's sent all her welfare to God Your brother's been taking it out on the dog So don't run away from me now There's you and your brothers and sisters to care for But I don't know how when we ain't got the wherefor So come let me hug you and show you what love's for And don't run away from me now The screaming and shouting's all done for today I'll clear up the mess when you're all out the way So give us a kiss 'cause there's nothing to say But don't run away from me now There's you and your brothers and sisters to care for A whole lot of things that you should say your prayers for So don't make a fuss now or I'll give you what for Just don't run away from me now Don't run away from me now
