We’re Havin’ a Baby Ray Stevens

When we were having our first baby
The wife said to me, "Maybe
We should have this child the natural way (The natural way)
Without drugs or medication
But in peaceful meditation
We'll start this child out on its merry way"

So we enrolled into a school and learned to breathe both out and in
Then proudly told our family and our friends

We're having a baby (Baby) the natural way
We're having a baby (Baby), we're happy to say
This child will enter into life in sweet tranquility
The way the old folks did it all down through history
Queens and peasants have both done it, so just how hard can it be?
We're having a baby (Baby) the natural way (The natural way)

Our reluctant obstetrician
Made just one one condition
We could have the child naturally, but in a delivery room
So we kept breathing and rehearsing
'Til the day came for the birthing
Then my wife said sweetly, "Let's go, dear, the baby's coming soon"

So I grabbed our bags and drove her there and got her all checked in
But neither one of us was ready for all that happened then
