"Uh, long distance, directory-assistance, area code 212"

I said, "Hey mama, this is Mr. Rhythm-and-Blues"

He said hello and put me on hold

To say the least, the cat was cold

He said, "Don't call us, child, we'll call you"

I said, "You got my number?"

He said, "Yeah, I got it when you walked in the door"

Don't call us... we'll call you

Don't call us... we'll call you

"I got your name from a friend of a friend

Who said he used to work with you

Do you remember the all-night preacher from Stereo-92?"

I said, "Could you relate to our quarter-track tape?

You know the band performs in the nude"

He said, "Uh-uh, don't call us, we'll call you"

"Listen kid, you pay for the call

You ain't bad, but we 've heard it all before

Yeah, it sounds like John, Paul and George"

Anyway, we cut a hit and toured a bit

With the song he said he couldn't use

And now he calls, and begs and crawls

It's telephone Deja Vu

We got percentage points and lousy joints

And all the glitter we can use, mama

So, huh, don't call us, we'll call you!

You may have heard this one before, too:

"Listen kid, you pay for the call

Well, you ain't bad but I've heard it all before"

Don't call us... we'll call you

Don't call us... we'll call you
