Babies Makin' Babies Lyrics

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 curse just like a Brady
Say you'll love them 'till you're 80
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 coach quarter finders
Saving up for a Maytag microwave
Oh, but all has been forgiven
On the day the water christen
The best thing that could've happened by mistake

The American dream on a shoestring
First you grow it then you show it
Give a good curse just like a Brady
Say you'll love them 'till you're 80
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
Turns us all into a family

The American dream on a shoestring
First you grow it then you show it
Give a good curse just like a Brady
Say you'll love them 'till you're 80
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

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