One's on the Way

Loretta Lynn



They say to have her hair done, Liz flies all the way to France

And Jackie's seen in a discoth'eque doin' a brand new dance

And the White House social season should be glittering and gay

But here in Topeka, the rain is a fallin'

The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin'

One of 'em a-toddlin and one is a crawlin'

And, one's on the way.



I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact

And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act

While the TV's showin' Newlywed's, a real fun game to play

But here in Topeka, the screen door's a bangin'

The coffee's boilin' over and the worsh needs a hangin'

One want a cookie and one wants a changin'

And, one's on the way.



Now what was I doin'?

Jimmy get away from there

Darn, there goes the phone

Hello honey. What's that you say

You're bringin' a few ole army buddies home

You're callin' from a bar

Get away from there

No, not you honey, I was talking to the baby

Wait a minute, honey, the door bell

Honey, could you stop by the market and.

Hello?

Hello?

Well I'll be.



The girls in New York City, they all march for women's lib

And better homes and garden shows, the modern way to live

And the pill may change the world tomorrow, but meanwhile, today

Here in Topeka, the flies are a buzzin'

The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin'

One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin'

Lord, one's on the way.



Oh gee, I hope it ain't twins again...
