Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang 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

Riff 1
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

    G      A          P1
I need somebody to shove
    G      A          P1
I want somebody to shove me

Riff 1
You're a dream for insomniacs, prize in the Cracker Jacks
All the difference in the world is just a call away
