They say to have her hair done
Liz flies all the way to France
And Jackie′s seen in a discotheque
Doing a brand new dance
And the White House social season
Choppy, glittering and gay
But here in Edmonton 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
And Debbie′s certain
Workin' up a brand new act
And the TV′s showing Newlywed
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
Now what was I doin′?
Jimmy, get away from that
Darn, there goes the phone
Hello, honey, what's that you say?
You′re bringing a few of my Army buddies home?
You're callin′ from a bar?
Get away from there
No, not you, honey, I was talkin' to the baby
Wait a minute, honey, the doorbell
Honey, could you stop at the market?
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
The pill may change the world tomorrow
But meanwhile today
Here in Edmonton, 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
