Don’t Forget to Call Your Mother

“One’s On The Way” by Shel Silvestein

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’ Newlywed’s, a real fun game to play
But here in Topeka, the screen door’s a bangin’
The coffee’s boilin’ over and the worsh needs a hangin’
One want a cookie and one wants a changin’

And, one’s on the way

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 ole army buddies home
You’re callin’ from a bar
Get away from there
No, not you honey, I was talking to the baby
Wait a minute, honey, the door bell
Honey, could you stop by 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 garden shows, the modern way to live
And the pill may change the world tomorrow, but meanwhile, today

Oh gee, I hope it ain’t twins again
