Lyrics

This here is the place where I will be staying There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone Let it ring a long, long, long, long time If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh If I don't pick up, pick up The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Oh There are scratches all around the coin slot Like a heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up But this machine can only swallow money You can't lay a patch by computer design It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs Tell her Tell her she can kiss my ass Then laugh and say that you were only kidding That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me, me Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Oh Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial A can of beans or blackeyed peas Some Nescafe and ice A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Oh The cat in the hat came back Wrecked a lot of havoc on the way Always had a smile and a reason to pretend But their world has flat backgrounds And little need to sleep but to dream The sidewinder sleeps on his back Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) I can always sleep standing up (Call me when you try to wake her) Oh Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) I can always sleep standing up (Call me when you try to wake her) Oh Call me when you try to wake her up (Call me when you try to wake her) I can always sleep standing up (Call me when you try to wake her) I can always sleep standing up (Call me when you try to wake her) We've got to moogie, moogie, move on this one
