Platform shoes on table tops

I think I'm gonna be a lady

Opinions flyin' right and left

I think I'm gonna tell him maybe

They're puttin' out too many phonograph records

I think I'm gonna have a baby, a baby



I wouldn't be naughty for the sake of naught

Or be different just to differ

I wouldn't sell myself just to get bought

Or give to just deliver

They're puttin' out too many phonograph records

I think I want to be a river, be a river...



Rivers do such nice things, they roll to the sea

When I am a river then I'll want to listen to me



So you pick me up, and you tune me up

And you wind me up and play me

You talk about heart, and you say you know soul

And the way to treat a lady

You're puttin' out too many phonograph records

I think I'm gonna have a baby, a baby



Babys do such nice things, they rock on your knee

When I was a baby my rockin' was something to see
