This was hard to find. I was remembering an old song, by a guy, in which his girlfriend is pregnant, and the reason he knows, is that her jeans are getting tight. I always thought that was a funny set up. I don't think I've heard the song in forever, but it turns out to be by Jackson Browne. It took all of my google-fu, because I didn't actually remember a specific phrase from the lyrics, but it turned up in a book about Jackson Brown that Google book search provided. The song is called Ready Or Not, which amused me, because I wrote a play with that title.
The song starts out:
Someone's gonna have to explain it to me
I'm not sure what it means
My baby's feelin' funny in the morning
She's having trouble getting into her jeans
Her waist-line seems to be expanding
Although she never feels like eating a thing
I guess we'll reach some understanding
When we see what the future will bring.
It ends like this:
She says she's ready for some meaning
After all of her running around
Bless my soul, she's got a rock and roll bandman
Thinking 'bout settling down.
And I will just leave these lyrics up as the rhyme for this post.
