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

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

Cause 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

Yes I'm waiting by the phone

I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone

Cause I want somebody to shove

I need somebody to shove

I want somebody to shove me

Yes I want somebody to shove

I need somebody to shove

I want somebody to shove me
