Rotary Dial lyrics

[As the years went by

Tears just kept on flowing!

But back in the Roaring 20s…

Everything was just swell!]

...

Call me, call me, baby

Check me on the cheek and all

night I’ll wait for your reply

Now listen listen listen here,

I can’t wait for you to die

I’d look you in the

eyes but they’re

closed

You don’t seem to understand

All’s just copacetic

Number after number after cry after cry

I’m a little dizzy but

it’s all gonna end

Why, all the ones that I love

have hung up the telephone

Time after time after

time after time after

Time and time again again

I’ll only speak to you

And maybe you should give me

back the love I gave to you

I’ve given up on any kind

of hope that’s left for me

The wires on the telephone

are tangled around me

I can tell you this:

(Oh!)

Time is just a-ticking away

(Now, hey, now)

For you

For you

Ignoring my demise

After dark and after I’ve

called you for the 43rd time

It’s driving me mad!

[And as the tears kept flowing,

Well…

Sometimes you just

gotta accept the worst.

Now, if you’ll have a

look 30 years later…

As you can see,

everything’s gone wrong!]

Call me, call me, baby

1-2-3-4

My mind’s up in a tizzy

Where are you going, my darling?

Some things are better left alone

Where are you going, my darling?

Some things should better stay at home

Why do you never talk to me?

Some things are better left alone

Where are you going, my darling?

Some things should better stay at home

Why do you never talk to me?

Stitch, sew, cut ties

Stitch sew, live and die

Stitch, sew, I tried

Stitch, sew, you’re alive

Stitch, sew, cut ties

Stitch sew, live and die

Stitch, sew, I tried

Stitch, sew, I’m alive

Hah hah

Hah hah

Hah hah

Hah hah

Time after time after time after time,

I can tell you this

(Oh!)

Time is just a-ticking away

(Now, hey, now)

For you, for you

Nevermore, forevermore

Love is nothing but a waste

Join hands in a beautiful marriage

It’s driving me mad!

I can tell you this

(Oh!)

Life is just a-ticking away

(Now, hey, now)

For you, for you

Threaded cords and sewing words

Say “I do” and end the world

Baby, now, for the 87th time

It’s driving me mad!

Call me, call me, baby

Check me on the cheek and all

night I’ll wait for your reply

Now listen listen listen here,

I can’t wait for you to die

I’d look you in the eyes

but they’re closed

You don’t seem to understand

All’s just copacetic

Hah hah

Hah hah

Hah hah

Hah hah

Number after number after cry after cry

I’m a little dizzy but

it’s all gonna end

Why, all the ones that I love

have hung up the telephone

Time after time after

time after time after

Time and time again again

I’ll only speak to you

And maybe you should give me

back the love I gave to you

I’ve given up on any kind

of hope that’s left for me

The wires on the telephone

are tangled around me

I can tell you this:

(Oh!)

Time is just a-ticking away

(Now, hey, now)

For you

For you

Ignoring my demise

After dark and after I’ve

called you for the 110th time

It’s driving me mad!

(Stitch, sew, cut ties

Stitch sew, live and die)

It’s driving me mad!

[My, oh, my…

Looks like you’ve found

yourself all alone!

Poor girl.

You won’t be alone much longer.

Remember that, will you?]
