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 JACKIEâS SEEN IN A DISCOTHEQUE DOINâ A BRAND NEW DANCE.
AND THE WHITE HOUSE SOCIAL SEASON SHOULD BE GLITTERING AND GAY
BUT HERE IN TOPEKA, THE RAIN IS AâFALLINâ
THE FAUCET IS AâDRIPPINâ AND THE KIDS ARE AâBAWLINâ
ONE Aâ THEM AâTODDLINâ AND ONE Aâ THEM AâCRAWLINâ AND ONEâS ON THE WAY.
IâM GLAD THAT RAQUEL WELCH JUST SIGNED A MILLION DOLLAR PACT,
AND DEBBIEâS OUT IN VEGAS WORKINâ UP A BRAND NEW ACT.
WHILE THE TVâS SHOWINâ NEWLYWEDS A REAL FINE GAME TO PLAY.
BUT HERE IN TOPEKA, THE SCREEN DOORâS A BANGINâ
THE COFFEEâS BOILINâ OVER AND THE WASH NEEDS AâHANGINâ
ONE WANTS A COOKIE AND ONE WANTS A CHANGINâ AND ONEâS ON THE WAY.
(Bridge)
NOW WHAT WAS I DOINâ ? JIMMY GET AWAY FROM THERE, DARN THERE GOES THE
PHONE.
HELLO HONEY, WHATâS THAT YOU SAY? YOUâRE BRINGINâ A FEW OLD ARMY BUDDIES
HOME?
YOUâRE CALLINâ FROM A BAR? GET AWAY FROM THERE! NO, NOT YOU HONEY I WAS
TALKINâ TO THE BABIES.
WAIT A MINUTE HONEY ö THE DOORBELL. HONEY? COULD YOU STOP AT THE
MARKET, AND·.?
HELLO? HELLO? WELL, IâLL BE·..
THE GIRLS IN NEW YORK CITY, THEY ALL MARCH FOR WOMENâS LIB.
AND BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS SHOWS A MODERN WAY TO LIVE.
AND THE PILL MAY CHANGE THE WORLD TOMORROW, BUT ö MEANWHILE TODAY
HERE IN TOPEKA, THE FLIES ARE A BUZZINâ
THE DOG IS AâBARKINâ AND THE FLOOR NEEDS A SCRUBBINâ
ONE NEEDS A SPANKINâ AND ONE NEEDS A HUGGINâ
LORD, ONEâS ON THE WAY.
OH GEE I HOPE IT AINâT TWINS AGAIN··
