[brrring, brrring] Hello-o



Ahh, hi, how are you man, I'm not too bright

Look I'm sorry to disturb you at this ungodly hour of night

I thought I'd let you know that I'm a-leavin' town for good

You haven't really helped me the way you said you would, no



Now listen, you said I'd make the big time, playin' rock and roll

I said I like it and I want it and I need it pretty bad

So you took me to the cleaners for everything I had



And I'm a-gettin' kinda tired of the way things are

You promised me you'd make me a superstar

Ooh, well it ain't no fun livng life with a head full of songs

I bought a gold lame suit and a Gibson guitar

And practised all day-ay while you sat in the bar, now listen



Well you're probably thinkin' I'm ungrateful, man

And if you think I'm complainin', well you're right, I am

I've got no food, no car, no money in the bank

My ship ain't coming in, it hit a rock and sank



And I'm a-gettin' kinda tired of the way things are

You promised me you'd make me a superstar

I bought a gold lame suit and a Gibson guitar

And practised all day-ay while you sat in the bar, yes you did now



Yeah-yeah-yeah



Wooh, I'm a-gettin' kinda tired of the
