The Pill - Pete Seeger

You wined me and dined me

When I was your girl

Promised if I’d be your wife

You’d show me the world

But all I’ve seen of this old world

Is a bed and a doctor bill

I’m tearin' down your brooder house

'Cause now I’ve got the pill

All these years I’ve stayed at home

While you had all your fun

And every year thats gone by

Another baby’s come

There’s a gonna be some changes made

Right here on nursery hill

You’ve set this chicken your last time

'Cause now I’ve got the pill

This old maternity dress I’ve got

Is goin' in the garbage

The clothes I’m wearin' from now on

Won’t take up so much yardage

Mini skirts, hot pants

And a few little fancy frills

Yeah, I’m makin' up for all those years

Since I’ve got the pill

I’m tired of all your crowin'

How you and your hens play

While holdin' a couple in my arms

Another’s on the way

This chicken’s done tore up her nest

And I’m ready to make a deal

And you can’t afford to turn it down

'Cause you know I’ve got the pill

This incubator is overused

Because you’ve kept it filled

The feelin' good comes easy now

Since I’ve got the pill

It’s gettin' dark, it’s roostin' time

Tonight’s too good to be real

Oh, but daddy don’t you worry none

'Cause mama’s got the pill

Oh, daddy don’t you worry none

'Cause mama’s got the pill
