Lyrics
Verse I
Why do I sit home waiting for the phone?
Waiting for the phone to ring that ting a-ling-a ling-a ling
I've given up most everything
Waiting for the phone to ring
My ego really feels the sting
I should go out an have a fling
Instead of sitting here to sing
Those wasting time telephone blues.
Verse II
Well finally it rings and my heart takes wings
But when I pick it up I hear a voice I wasn't' waiting for
Now I'm hurting all the more
Can't take this heartache anymore
I'm heading for the swiging door
Cause sitting here is such a bore
I used to have a life before these wasting time telephone blues.
Chorus
A ting-a ling a ling
A ring-a ling a ling
A ting-a ling a ling
A ring a ling a ling
I'm sitting here dialing up the telephone blues.
