It's easy to agree with the man in the mitre
When you haven't got a daughter with another one inside her
It's easy to insist that the method be rhythm
When your only son is carrying a metronome within him
He'll do the honourable thing
Stand quivering by your side
And the last thing this family needs is
Another child
And another child bride
Another child
And another child bride
Another child
And another child bride
He shows up at her window
And she shimmies down the ladder
When she gets back to her room
She's none the wiser but she's sadder
When the saint and the serpent
Prepare themselves to grapple
It starts out in the Chevy
And it ends up in a chapel
She'll do the honourable thing
It's shivering cold outside
And the last thing this family needs is
Another child
Another child bride
Another child
Another child bride
Hard labour for those imprisoned
Contractions like 'don't' and 'isn't'
Just look how the baby glistened
Travelling down that slide
On April 22nd all her cousins threw a shower
And she opened up appliances for upwards of an hour
Witness!
Licence!
Civil ceremony!
Then they went back to her mother's house for wine and cannelloni
We'll do the honourable thing
Deliver you from your pride
And the last thing this family needs is
Another child
Another child bride
Another child
Another child bride
Another child
Another child bride
Another child
Another child bride
(I'm keeping the baby)
Another child
Another child bride
(I'm keeping the baby)
Another child
Another child bride
(Hey! Hey! I'm keeping the baby)
Another child
Another child bride
(I'm keeping the baby)
