Pregnant Again

(album: Loretta - 1980)

The car payment's late
And the mortgage is due
And three of the children are down with the flu
And this week the eggs cost us one dollar nine
And dinner was bread with white gravy
And I'm

Pregnant again
What will we do
Pregnant again
It just can't be true
The doctor just smiled
And said young lady, you
Pregnant again (pregnant again)

We've run out of milk
And the baby need's more
I can't get the gas to get down to the store
With two almost grown
And there's one on my knee
Oh honey, it's just not a good time to be

Pregnant again
What do you know
Pregnant again
And it's starting to show
When daddy comes home
I'll just tell him hello
I'm Pregnant
Oh gee, again

The crib in the attic
All covered with grime
And I used all the diapers for dust cloths last time
If I were still thirty
I just might not mind
The thought of another pink little behind

My husband works hard
Two jobs on the side
He doesn't have much
But he sure got his pride

He's loving and loyal
And he brings home each dime
But what will he say
When I tell him that I'm

Pregnant again
Where will we do
Pregnant again
It just can't be so
But I never could count
When the lights were down low
And I'm Pregnant again
(Pregnant again)

There goes the new washer we needed so bad
There goes the vacation that we never had
There goes the new TV
I thought we'd enjoy
Oh, honey, who cares
I hope it's a boy
