Talking Women On The Phone Blues

I was talking to some women today on the phone
One of thems heart was broken she felt sad and alone
The other one had a birthday feeling old at 25
And another one says she wants me dead or alive
Still another one said a psychic told her it was safe to fly
So she was leaving for Arizona and she called to say goodbye

I made a date with lonely heart for lunch and a movie
to the ancient youngster I sang happy birthday
to the one who wants me I said you're not the only one
Who's got an itchy finger on the trigger of my gun
to the modern lady who believes in telepathy
I said if you don't get a letter, you'll know that it's from me

Well my matinee cancelled cos her boyfriend came back
And the birthday girl decided to only dress in black
And while the huntress is planning her next attack
I'm getting letters from Phoenix answering stuff I never asked
So I prayed to a Ma Bell to cut me some slack
The phone calls stopped but now I'm getting constant fax

I guess I could unplug it pull the cord out of the wall
But I'm waiting for my new publisher to call
So I went out and bought myself an answering machine
And all the calls I got were way beyond obscene
So I left this message and you can hear it if you phone
Please don't come until you hear the tone
