Babies Makin' Babies

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.

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 them 'till your 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.

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.

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 them 'till your 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.

Well it's a tried and true equation
maintains a small town population
Thats turns us all into a family.

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 them 'till you're eighty
Too soon to be a mother and father
But too late for the alma mater
Yeah its always in the water
Babies makin' babies.

Yes it's always in the water
Babies makin babies.
