Platform shoes on table tops   I think I'm gonna be a lady   Opinions flyin' right and left   I think I'm gonna tell them 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 just to 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   They're puttin' out too many phonograph records   I think I want to be a river      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, have a baby      Babys do such nice things, they rock on your knee   When I was a baby my rockin' was something to see
