when one became two

when one became two

well

the two of us knew

that whatever will be's gonna be

and what was to be

was that two became three

it's beginning to look like a family

i still remember that day in september when

i heard that three would be four

it gave me the spins when i heard it was twins

we were jumping for joy for a new girl and boy

and so what was to be was much bigger than three

it's beginning to look like a family

if we burst at the seams

we'll put beds on the beams in the rafters

it'll fit like a glove

little house full of love and laughter

five became six in our house made of bricks

then seven came later

then eight

it was a sign

when the eight became nine

that out house made of bricks

that was too small for six

could handle no more

not the five plus the four

then i remembered the spins when i heard of the twins

so what was to be was much bigger than three

it's beginning to feel like a family

then things really got wild

with the first grandchild
