Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 'em till you're 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 'em till you're 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 [Bridge] Well, it's a tried and true equation Maintains a small town population That turns us all into a family [Chorus] 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 'em till you're 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 [Outro] Yes, it's always in the water Babies makin babies
