Opener/MiddleBreak/Closer

Back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell

Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's they were in everybody's home

As a crazy little thing they call the telephone

Well there's no problem gettin' to me Baby you can dial direct

I got call forwarding and call waiting You can even call collect
The service man he told me that my phone is working fine

And I've come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line -

The service man he told me that my phone is working fine

And I've come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you thru

So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you Allemande Left an Weave the Ring

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you Swing and Promenade
I say now: Darlin', honey - what is your excuse - Why haven't I heard from you
Tag: so tell me why haven´t I heard from you

alt. lyric

There better been a flood, a landslide of mud - A fire that burns up the wires
And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud - A natural disaster I know nothin' about
