Slow Those Babies Down

Another house will use up the countryside
Another family fills up the house in time
Another car will drive up and the down the drive

Another light will use electricity
Another toilet flushes into the sea
Another furnace drinks the petroleum

Slow those babies down
You know there’s more
When they’re not around
Find a safe device
To prevent unwelcome surprises

Another school will use up the countryside
Child after child will fill up the schools in time
Another school bus drives up and down the drive

Slow those babies down
You know there’s more
When they’re not around
Find a safe device
To prevent unwelcome surprises

First there was Frank and Freddy, Fanny and Steven
Then there was Alice, Arthur, Andy and Sue
Remember Billy, Brian, Bobo and Sally
Then there was Patty, Paula, Linda and you
First there was Richard, Randy, Rupert and Sandra
Then there was Donna, Dorothy, David and Sam
Remember Willy, Walter, Warren and Scottie
Then there was Karen, Kathy, Charlie and Pam

Slow them down 
Please please
Slow them down
