Lyrics Quiz: Telecommunications

Telecommunications Lyrics Quiz.

  1. I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall. If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall.
  2. Inventing lovers on the phone, who called to say, 'come dance with me', and murmur vague obscenities.
  3. Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know. And offers comin' over the phone.
  4. The telex machine is kept so clean as it types to a waiting world.
  5. I had to phone someone so I picked on you. Hey, that's far out so you heard him too! Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel Two.
  6. I kind of like the feel of this extra few feet in my bed. Telephone's ringing, but I don't answer it 'cause everybody knows that good news always sleeps till noon.
  7. And it's all your fault. I screen my phone calls. No matter-matter-matter-matter who calls. I gotta screen my phone calls.
  8. O.K. so no-one's answering, Well can't you just let it ring a little longer? I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night. Let it ring for evermore.
