ONES ON THE WAY
Recorded by: Loretta Lynn
Submitted by: Tom Rivers

THEY SAY TO HAVE HER HAIR DONE LIZ FLIES ALL THE WAY TO FRANCE
AND JACKIE'S SEEN IN A DISCOTHEQUE 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 A' THEM A'TODDLIN' AND ONE A' THEM 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 FINE GAME TO PLAY.
BUT HERE IN TOPEKA, THE SCREEN DOOR'S A BANGIN'
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.

(Bridge)
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 OLD ARMY BUDDIES HOME?
YOU'RE CALLIN' FROM A BAR? GET AWAY FROM THERE! NO, NOT YOU HONEY I WAS TALKIN' TO THE BABIES.
WAIT A MINUTE HONEY ö 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 A 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··
