grandfather watches the grandfather clock
and the phone hasn't rung for so long
and the time flies by like a vulture in the sky
suddenly he breaks into song
I'm waiting by the phone
waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting by the phone
waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
hello, speak up, is there somebody there
these hang-ups are getting me down
in a world prozen over with over-exposure
let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town
I'm waiting by the phone
waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
you're a dream for insomniacs
prize in the cracker Jacks all the difference
in the world is just a call away
and I'm waiting for you to call me up
and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting for you to call me up
and tell me I'm not alone
I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
