They say to have her hair done, Liz flies all the way to FranceAnd Jackie’s seen in a Discotecque doin’ a brand new danceAnd the White House social season should be glitterin’ an’ gayBut here in Topeka the rain is a fallin’The faucet is a drippin’ and the kids are a bawlin’One of them a toddlin’ and one is a crawlin’And one’s on the wayI’m glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pactAnd Debbie’s out in Vegas workin’ up a brand new actWhile the TV’s showin’ newlyweds, a real fun game to playBut here in Topeka, the screen door’s a bangin’The coffee’s boilin’ over and the wash needs a hangin’One wants a cookie and one wants a changin’And one’s on the wayNow what was I doin’, Jimmy get away from thereDarn, there goes the phoneHello honey, what’s that you sayYou’re bringin’ a few old army buddies homeYou’re callin’ from a barGet away from there, no, not you honeyI was talkin’ to the babyWait a minute, honey, the door bellHoney, could you stop at the market and hello, helloWell, I’ll beThe girls in New York City, they all march for women’s libAnd better homes and garden shows the modern way to liveAnd the pill may change the world tomorrow, but meanwhile, todayHere in Topeka, the flies are a buzzin’The dog is a barkin’ and the floor needs a scrubbin’One needs a spankin’ and one needs a huggin’Lord, one’s on the way
