Wake up, and have a cup Turn on the t.v. … read the paper Cause I know someone's calling me up Waitin' for the phone to ring Get me up and do my thing Cause I do what the telephone tells me to do That's the truth dog Just a waitin' on you Cause I do what the telephone tells me to do Hey fool maybe you do too Everybody's got a telephone ringin' Everybody got a telephone singin' So whets new, whets swinging Whets goin' on where your phones ringin' I hear your friends are way too lazy Is waking up at Wal-Mart making you crazy If you looking for action Pure satisfaction Well I do what the telephone tells me to do
Here's my number call me up and I'll Do it with you Cause I do what the telephone tells me to do Hey fool maybe you do too Everybody's got a telephone ringin' Everybody got a telephone singin' Ya tell me yeah, ya tell me no Always telling me where to go Sitting' here and the phone starts to ring Feelin' good the way it pulls my string When I get tired of all the talk Go outside and take a walk Locked in a cell with old ma belle Sometimes things just don't go so well Cause I do what the telephone tells me to do Hey fool maybe you do too Everybody's got a telephone ringin' Everybody got a telephone singin'
