One's On The Way

(album: Still Woman Enough - 2021)

They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France
Jackie's seen in a discotheque doing a brand new dance
And the White House social season should be glittering and gay
But here in Topeka, the rain is a-falling
The faucet is a-dripping and the kids are a-bawling
One of them is toddling and one is a-crawling and one's on the way

I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact
Debbie's out in Vegas working up a brand new act
While the TV's showing Newlyweds, a real fun game to play
But here in Topeka, the screen door's a-banging
The coffee's boiling over and the wash needs a-hanging
One wants a cookie and one wants a changing and one's on the way

What was I doin'? Judy, get away from there
Darn, there goes the phone
Hello, honey, what's that you say?
You're bringing a few Army buddies home?
You're calling from a bar? Get away from there!
No, not you, honey, I was talking to the baby
Honey, could you stop at the store on your way home and
Hello? (Hello?) Hello? (Hello?)
Well, I'll be

The girls in New York City, they all march for women's lib
Better Homes and Gardens shows, a modern way to live
And the pill may change the world tomorrow but meanwhile, today
Here in Topeka, the rain is a-falling
Dog is a-barking and the floor needs a-scrubbing
One of them is toddling and one is a-crawling and one's on the way

Oh gee, I hope it ain't twins again
