Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen, has this ever happened to you?
These girls missed an important telephone call
[Verse 2]
Oh
[Verse 3]
All around, there's a sound of the midsummer night
Bells in the air are ringing everywhere
I can hear footsteps that pass on the street
And lovers rushing to meet
Here alone, I can only imagine the sight
Me on the town in some bewitching gown
But I just wait at the end of the line
As bells are ringing
The bells keep ringing
Oh, why, oh, why can't the next call be mine?
[Verse 4]
A sad story, girls
But it need not've happened
Perhaps during the time you were out, he called
But no one was there to answer your telephone
Don't let the same thing happen tomorrow night
[Verse 5]
But what can we do?
[Verse 6]
Subscribe to an answering service
Use Susansaphone
[Verse 7]
Susansaphone?
[Verse 8]
Yes, it gives and takes your messages as it does for business executives
Doctors and theater celebrities on New York's smart east side
Now, this is what can happen when you subscribe to Susansaphone
[Verse 9]
Hello?
[Verse 10]
This is your answering service
[Verse 11]
Yes?
[Verse 12]
While you were out, the agency called, you've got the job
[Verse 13]
Oh
[Verse 14]
And your lawyer called
Your uncle left you all his money in his will
[Verse 15]
Oh
[Verse 16]
And he called
And I gave him your message, so he's waiting for you right now
[Verse 17]
Oh, thank you, Susansaphone
