Somebody had a baby

Somebody had a breakdown

Aaah, it's a big day

In a small town

VERSE:

She left all the chicken in the frying pan

And threw all the kids in a grand caravan

Somebody went to Wal-mart

In nothing but a night gown

Aaah, it's a big day

In a small town

There ain't no mall

Around here

Somebody's getting married

The sun comes up

And the sun goes down

Aaah, it's a big day
