Из альбома: Partners in Crime
A little while ago I went and placed a call
To tell this girl I know that she could have it all
The wedding, the ring, the whole dumb thing,
I was willing to tie the knot
So I called her up, and this is the answer I got:
"I'm so sorry, you have just reached my answering machine
I'm not in at present, I'm sure you know this whole routine
Leave your name and number, and I'll try to get back to you
You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're through."
And I said,
"Baby let's go get married, I need to know you're mine
I am hanging on, I am hanging on, I am hanging on this line
And if I can leave one message, before you go to bed
I would say to you--"
And the phone went dead.
So I stepped out to buy some dog food for the cat,
Of course she called three minutes after that.
Would she be me wife and share my life?
Well of course you can write the plot:
Cuz she called me up, and this is the answer she...got:
"I'm so sorry, you have just reached my answering machine
I'm not in at present, I'm sure you know this whole routine
Leave your name and number, and I'll try to get back to you
You have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're through."
And she said,
"Baby I got your message, I'm answering your call
I have thought it out, I have thought it out
Ad I think that all in all
If you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time,
Then my answer is--"
And the phone went...
I'm so sorry, you have just reached my answering machine,
I'm not in at present, I'm sure you know this whole routine...
