Grandfather watches the grandfather clock And the phone hasn't rung for so long 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
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there These hang-ups are getting me down In a world frozen 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
CHORUS 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 by the phone Waiting for you to call me up And tell me I'm not alone
