As the years went by...
Tears just kept flowing!
But back in the Roaring 20s,
Everything was just swell!
Rotary Dial
Call me, call me, baby
Check me on the cheek
And all night
I'll wait for your reply
Now listen-listen-listen here
I can’t wait for you to die
I’d look you in the eyes
But they’re closed
You don’t seem to understand
All’s just copacetic!
Wait until I come back!
Number after number after
Cry after cry
I’m a little dizzy,
But it’s all gonna end
Why, all the ones that I love
Have hung up the telephone
Time after time
Time and time again again
I’ll only speak to you
And maybe you should
Give me back
The love I gave to you
I’ve given up
On any kind of hope
That’s left for me
The wires on the telephone
Are tangled around me
I can tell you this;
Oh!
Time is just a-ticking away
Now, hey, now
For you, for you
Ignoring my demise
After dark and after I've
Called you for the 43rd time
It’s driving me mad!
And as the tears kept flowing,
Well...
Sometimes you just gotta accept the worst
Now, if you'll have a look thirty years later...
As you can see, everything's gone wrong!
Call me, call me, baby
One-two-three-four!
My mind’s up in a tizzy
Where are you going,
my darling?
Some things are better
left alone
Where are you going,
my darling?
Some things should
better stay at home
Why do you never
talk to me?
Some things are better
left alone
Where are you going,
my darling?
Some things should
better stay at home
Why do you never
talk to me?
Stitch sew cut tie
Stitch sew live and die
Stitch sew I tried
Stitch sew you’re alive!
Stitch sew cut tie
Stitch sew live and die
Stitch sew I tried
Stitch sew I’m alive!
Hah hah!
Time after time
Hah hah!
I can tell you this:
Oh!
Time is just a-ticking away
Now, hey, now!
For you, for you
Nevermore forevermore
Love is nothing
but a waste
Join hands in a
beautiful marriage
It’s driving me mad! I can tell you this
Oh!
Life is just a-ticking away
Now, hey, now!
For you, for you
Threaded cords
and sewing words
Say “I do” and
end the world
Baby, now...
for the 87th time,
It’s driving me mad! Call me, call me, baby
Check me on the cheek
And all night
I’ll wait for your reply
Now listen-listen-listen here
I can’t wait for you to die
I’d look you in the eyes
But they’re closed
You don’t seem to understand
All’s just copacetic!
Hah hah!
Number after number after
Cry after cry
I’m a little dizzy,
But it’s all gonna end
Why, all the ones that I love
Have hung up the telephone
Time after time
Time and time again again
I’ll only speak to you
And maybe you should
Give me back
The love I gave to you
I’ve given up
On any kind of hope
That’s left for me
The wires on the telephone
Are tangled around me I can tell you this:
Oh!
Time is just a-ticking away
Now, hey, now
For you, for you
Ignoring my demise
After dark and after I’ve
Called you for the
110th time
It’s driving me mad!
Stitch sew cut ties
Stitch sew live and die
Stitch sew cut ties
Stitch sew live and die
Stitch sew cut ties
Stitch sew live and die
Stitch sew cut ties
Stitch sew live and die
My, oh, my...
Looks like you've found yourself all alone!
Poor girl.
You won't be alone much longer.
Remember that, will you?
