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
