  • They say to have her hair done, Liz flies all the way to France
    Jackie's seen in a Discotecque doin' a brand new dance
    And the White House social season should be glitterin' an' gay
    But here in Topeka the rain is a fallin'
    The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are 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
    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', Judah 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 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 garden 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 Writer/s: Shel Silverstein
