They Just Got Married - Randy Newman

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 doorways

'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 of 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
