"One's On The Way" lyrics

"One's On The Way"
(feat. Margo Price)

They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France
Jackie's seen in a discotheque doin' a brand new dance
And the White House social season should be glitterin' and gay
But here in Topeka, the rain is a-fallin'
The faucet is a-drippin' and the kids are a-bawlin'
One of them is toddlin' and one is a-crawlin' and one's on the way

I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact
Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act
While the TV's showin' Newlyweds, a real fun 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

What was I doin'? Judy, get away from there
Darn, there goes the phone
Hello, honey, what's that you say?
You're bringin' a few Army buddies home?
You're callin' from a bar? Get away from there!
No, not you, honey, I was talkin' 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-fallin'
Dog is a-barkin' and the floor needs a-scrubbin'
One of them is toddlin' and one is a-crawlin' and one's on the way

Oh gee, I hope it ain't twins again
