[MICHAEL] At one minute after two in the morning Six hours following my wife's confinement Early on the day of January 12th In room 22 of the New City Hospital A brand new person suddenly was Who never used to be! He weighted six pounds and fourteen ounces And we named him after me! A son! A son! A son! [AGNES] Love isn't everything It cannot buy the pills Or pay the doctor bills Love cannot heat the house Or warm the baby's formula when he starts crying! Love isn't everything It won't provide a new supply of fresh dry diapers Love keeps you on the run But when it's said and done Love is what makes it sort of fun Sort of fun, sort of fun, sort of fun [MICHAEL] Bicycle, tricycle, roller skates, clothes! [AGNES] That's how the money goes [MICHAEL] Cowboy, Indian, hobby horse, guns! [AGNES] That's where the money runs (Agnes is once again pregnant.) [AGNES] At two minutes after four in the morning Five hours following my next confinement Early on the day of April 17th In room 22 of the New City Hospital A brand new person suddenly was Who never used to be! She weighed five pounds and thirteen ounces And they say she looks like me! A girl! A girl! A girl! [MICHAEL] Love isn't everything It cannot hire a nurse Nor fill an empty purse Love cannot pay for milk Nor put the satin ruffles on her party dresses Love isn't everything It cannot sign the check for her piano lessons Love kicks you once or twice But when you pay the price Love is what makes it sort of nice Sort of nice, sort of nice, sort of nice [AGNES] Baby doll, mama doll, safety pins, clothes! [MICHAEL] That's how the money goes [AGNES] Middy-blouse, petticoat, Buster Brown shoes! [MICHAEL] Gives you the money blues [BOTH] Love keeps you on the go But when you're feeling low [AGNES] Love is what keeps you hummin' [MICHAEL] While all the bills keep comin' [BOTH] Love is what makes it sort of fun! Sort of fun! Sort of fun! Sort of fun! Love makes it sort of fun!
