Weird Al Yankovic - Phony Calls lyrics

Album: Bad Hair Day (1996)

Mom & dad are going out for the evening
and you are stuck inside of the house all alone
That is when you decide
it might be fun to harrass someone
Dial a random number up on your telephone
You ask if their refrigerator is running
Then you tell them em´ they should go out & catch it
Buddy, if they ever figured out
Where you were callin em´ from
They would come & bust your head
right in with a ratchet
Listen to me

Chorus:
Don´t go makin´ phony calls
Please stick to the seven-digit
numbers your used to
I know that you think it is funny
drivin´ folks right up the wall
But it is really gettin´ old fast

Little Melvin has a natural obssession
Askin for Prince Albert in a can
He gets a kick each time he makes a collect-call
To some guy he does not know who lives in Japan
He has callin´ strangers up at three in the morning
Gives em´ pizza pie delivery at four
He won´t be laughing when they are tracin´ his line
One day the phone police will be there at his door
Yo, hear me

second Chorus:
Don´t go makin´ phony calls
Only dial the seven-digit numbers you are used to
Swear someday I am going to yank that
phone cord right out from the wall
How long is this phase going to last?

Don´t go makin´ phony calls
Please stick to the seven-digit
numbers you are used to
You went through the New York City
Phone book & prank-called em´ all
Hope that you grow out of this fast
