THE MILK
THE MILK
A COUPLE GETS MARRIED
PURCHASES A NEW HOME
BEGINS TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM
EVERY DAY HE GOES TO WORK
EVERY DAY SHE WORKS THEIR HOME
EVERY DAY THE MILK COMES VERY EARLY
AND SHE LOVES HER MILK
HER MILK AND CEREAL
SO EVERY DAY HE HAS HIS BREAKFAST
WITH NO MILK, HE HATES THE MILK
ONE DAY HER ROUTINE HAD CHANGED
THE MILK WAS NOT THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING
FUSTRATED, SHE MADE HER MANS BREAKFAST
WHEN HE FINISHED, HE LEFT FOR WORK
LIKE EVERY DAY, AND DIDN’T CARE
SHE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW OVER AND OVER
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE HE WAS
THE MILK MAN OF COURSE
THERE SHE WAS JUMPING FOR JOY
NOW SHE CAN HAVE HER MILK
SHE MET HIM AT THE DOOR, BEFORE HE GOT THERE
THERE HE WAS SMILING
THERE SHE WAS SMILING
SHE INVITES HIM IN
HE SAYS NO, NO I’M RUNNING LATE
SHE SAYS YES, YES YOU MUST
THE MILK MAN LOVES HIS MILK
AND LOVES TO DELIVER IT AS WELL
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING MY MILK
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD OF DONE
AND HE WALKS IN
SHE CLOSES THE DOOR
THEY WALK TO THE KITCHEN
AND SHE HAS HER MILK AND CEREAL
THE MILK MAN WAS OVERJOYED BY HER REACTIONS
WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE SHOWED HIM HER ROOM
THEY DID SOME TALKING AND THINGS
THE MILK MAN WAS NEVER LATE AGAIN
HE COMES VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING
AND EVERY MORNING SHE LOOKS FOR HIM
BUT JUST SEE’S HER MILK
MAKES HER MANS BREAKFAST
HAS HER MILK AND CEREAL
AND HE GOES TO WORK
AS SHE FEELS CHANGES WITH HER BODY
SHE REALIZES SHE’S LATE
SHE REALIZES SHE’S PREGNANT
THEN CRY’S
SOON SHE AND HER MAN
A MOTHER AND A FATHER
ONE HAPPY FAMILY
A BEAUTIFUL BABY WE CAN NOT DENIE
ONE THING FOR SURE THE BABY LOVED MILK
AND THE BABY GREW AND GREW
HE WONDERED INSIDE
SO HE ASKED HER
THE BABY HAS NO FEATURES LIKE MINE
THE BABY LOVED MILK
SHE LOVED MILK
AND HE STILL HATES MILK
SO HE ASK HER WHY
AS SHE CHOKED UP HER ANSWER
I DON’T KNOW
WHY DON’T YOU ASK THE MILK MAN
