Song Description

Sometimes I let our daughter keep her pajamas on pretty late in the morning - even until after lunch! The longer she stays in them, the more she wants to keep them on all day.

Lyrics

Hear the rain outside my window
Hear the wind howl like a sad old hound
Hear the cars, trucks and buses roll by
Splashing and sliding and crawling into town
Open my eyes and it?s no surprise
all I see is endless gray
Makes me wanna stay, think I?ll stay
Hope I can stay in my PJs all day

Then I realize it?s Tuesday
and the weekend is nowhere in sight
Can?t stay home without a fever
so I try to convince Mom that I?m not feeling right
She says, ?Come on, it?s time for breakfast
oatmeal with honey, you like it that way?
Still I wanna stay, bring it to me so I can stay
Please let me stay in my PJs all day

I roll over and turn on the radio
Weather guy says it?s gonna be dreary
Then the DJ plays a sad, old song
The kind that make Mom and Dad get teary
I hear her footsteps, she?s coming back down the hall
I turn the music up and hope for sympathy
Even though I look pathetic
No luck, she says, ?You better get ready
Hear what I say, gotta go to work and I can?t be swayed
no way Mom?s gonna let you stay in your PJs all day

So now we?re in Mom?s car we?re on the way to school
We?re stuck in traffic and she?s looking kinda blue
She?s got this far-off look in her eyes
I tap her on the shoulder, say ?What?s wrong with you??
She says, ?I was just thinking, since the sky?s so endless gray
I shoulda stayed, pulled up the covers and just stayed
I wish I?d stayed in my PJs all day.?
