Babies Makin' Babies

[Verse 1]

Two kids from Tacoma

In a '72 Nova

No pill and barely old enough to drink

Learned the ropes and tested science

Started pentecostal riots

In just five minutes behind the rolling rink

In the backseat brings

[Chorus]

The American dream on a shoestring

First you grow it, then you show it

Give a good push just like a Brady

Say you'll love 'em till you're eighty

Too soon to be a mother and father

But too late for the alma mater

Yeah, it's always in the water

Babies makin' babies

[Verse 2]

Between diplomas and the diapers

They become couch quarter finders

Savin' up for a Maytag microwave

Oh but all has been forgiven

On the day the water christen

The best thing that could have happened by mistake

[Chorus]

The American dream on a shoestring

First you grow it, then you show it

Give a good push just like a Brady

Say you'll love 'em till you're eighty

Too soon to be a mother and father

But too late for the alma mater

Yeah, it's always in the water

Babies makin' babies

[Bridge]

Well, it's a tried and true equation

Maintains a small town population

That turns us all into a family

[Chorus]

The American dream on a shoestring

First you grow it, then you show it

Give a good push just like a Brady

Say you'll love 'em till you're eighty

Too soon to be a mother and father

But too late for the alma mater

Yeah, it's always in the water

Babies makin' babies

[Outro]

Yes, it's always in the water

Babies makin babies
