Call me up [The phone is in the cradle] lyrics

My friends they don't talk much ‘bout the legend

My friends they don't talk much anyway

When they do, I know I better listen

‘cos my good friends just naturally know

The right things to say, they say:

Call me up the phone is in the cradle

Get yourself a liver to my door

But if you saw any plan and if you got the time

We could talk the night away

I don't got so lonely and I've gotta

He said: it's tough to be the only man alive

He said: I'd give a river for just somebody to talk to

We're thinking in lighting out for biting

We came strolling by, she said:

Call me up the phone ...

Now Rosy was a queen of the all night cowboy

She said: Texas boy using kind of shy

Don't you expect the nimble's invitation

Just knock on the wall

Track down the hall and drop on by, she said:

Call me up ...
