One's On The Way

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

And Jackie's seen in a discotheque's 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' Newlyweds, a real fun game to play

But here in Topeka, the screen door's a-banging

The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a-hangin'

One wants a cookie and one wants a-changin'

And one's on the way

Now, what was I doing?

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 talkin' to the baby

Wait a minute, honey, the doorbell

Honey, could you stop at 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 Gardens 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
