"Let's
Make a Baby (And Ruin Our Lives)" Copyright 2000
Jacqueline S. Levy
Married life is cozy as
a snowy afternoon
Cuddling by the fire.
Reading the
funnies. Dinners for two
So adoring.
God, we're boring.
Every Friday
dancing. Saturdays we bike.
Maybe we
see a play.
Mindlessly
living the easy life.
We need a
challenge today.
So let's make a baby and ruin our lives
Rather than having such fun.
Oh, let's make a baby and ruin our lives
While we still are young.
We could
trade the Porsche for a navy mini-van
Parked by
our mortgaged home.
Three o'clock
feedings, rising at five.
Happy campers.
Pass the Pampers.
Loads of
little laundry. Moments with the mumps.
What an appealing
life.
Building
together our legacy.
Working as
husband and wife.
So let's make a baby and ruin our lives
With our little Adam or Eve.
Oh, let's make a baby and ruin our lives
While we're still naive.
We could
wait a year or two before we have another.
Think of
all the visits we'll have from your mother.
Let's make a baby and ruin our lives
Now and in seasons to come.
Oh, let's make a baby and ruin our lives
While we're still this dumb.
