Here's an old, old story   'Bout a man and a woman   Gone off to California   'Cause they just got married   All their friends in Boston   Are so very happy   They're dancing in the doorway   'Cause their friends got married   He gets a job   Working in a car wash up in Santa Cruz   She gets a job   Teaching at a nursery school    Oh, she's so nice.   What's gonna happen to 'em soon   They have a little white-haired baby   Looks just like his daddy   And they're all real happy   A couple years go by   She's going to see the doctor   It's just a regular checkup   (oh no) Plus she thinks she might be pregnant   Anyway, she dies   And he moves down to Los Angeles   Meets a foolish young girl with lots of money   Now they're getting married
