Only Baby Now

from The Lucky Ones by Heather Aubrey Lloyd

/

about

Another of the "monkey" challenge songs! A cute little ditty about family planning for a prompt about "Babies." Heather had to get "diaper" into the lyrics ... and "monkey."

lyrics

Honey, I love ya ain't no denying
we stood up in the church, everyone was cryin
over the threshold, white dress went a-flyin'
couldn't wait a minute, finally had to try it

First comes love and then comes marriage,
then comes a baby in the baby carriage
love, love, another carriage
if we keep it up at this rate don't know how we gonna manage

The bible, I read it. I know the lord said it
be fruitful and multiply or you might regret it
fun to make an army or a baseball team
in the family band the toddler can hold the tambourine

First comes love and then comes marriage,
do they make a tandem bike baby carriage
love, love another carriage
gotta fake a headache just to sleep upon the mattress

The twinkle in your eye can go sleep outside
love ya so much, it's hard to say no
but a decade of lovin' and buns in the oven
and diapers in dustbins 'til they overflow

First comes love and then comes marriage
getting frustrated with the rhythm method
love, love, ya know I've had it
and had it and had it and had it and had it
and had it and had it and had it and had it and had it

We all have needs to feed and to plan for
You're the only one I'd ever want 'em callin' Dada,
but let's break tradition on this monkey business
or you can permanently hide your banana ...

First comes love, then comes marriage
then a little visit to the doctor's office,
but love, love, once you're out of the bandage
nothing wrong with gettin' just a little savage
nothing quite so sexy as some family plannin'
no one in the house - kids are at my parents' ...
baby, you're my only baby now!
