[ Featuring the I.O.U.s ]
My folks kept things simple
Without much to spend
They relied on family
And a few trusted friends
People have their limits
Some bend the rules
They weren't perfect angels
But they were never fools
She had one babe in her arms
He had one on his knee
Then they had an oops
A third mouth to feed
Well on a tight budget
They learned to live real lean
The good Lord provided
All they could need
But sometimes I wonder
Did they stretch way too far
Could've had vacations
Or much better cars
She had one babe in her arms
He had one on his knee
Then they had an oops
A third mouth to feed
Now you might be solo
Or from a bunch of 12
You could be an oops
May it always workout well
Mistakes may happen
And not all are bad
My parents loved me
Thank you Mom and Dad
She had one babe in her arms
He had one on his knee
Then they had an oops
A third mouth to feed
Then there was that little crazy
That little oopsie daisy me
