Текст песни Telephone Bill - Johnny "Guitar" Watson
Everybody
rappin'
and
talkin'
'bout
nothin'
and
makin'
'em
sexy
sounds
And
in
the
meantime
and
in-between-time
I'm
down
here
on
the
ground.
But
now,
I'm
not
complainin'
about
what's
pertainin'
to
my
present
status
quo
About
thing's
gettin'
hard,
ooh,
my
God
inflation
I
know
you
know.
Listen:
Now
just
yesterday
I'd
like
to
say
before
I
got
on
my
bed.
Now
I
was
already
tired
on
the
for-real
side
and
a
few
bills
I'd
have
got
to
pay
Now
my
phone
rang
and
a
cute
little
girl
began
to
sing
this
tune,
She
said:
"Mr.
Watson
I'd
like
to
inform
you
your
phone
is
turned
off
at
noon!"
Now
that
came
to
me
as
no
surprise,
'cause
last
week
I
went
up
the
coast,
I
met
a
cute
little
girl
that
was
all
the
way
live
and
callin'
her
I
thought
was
the
most!
She
had
them
great
big
eyes
and
'em
great
big
legs
and
it
gave
my
body
a
chill.
So,
you
know,
I
never
thought
about
the
cost
and,
no
a
telephone
bill!
So
I
just
kept
on
rappin',
my
hands
got
clappin',
havin'
myself
a
ball,
Eh,
ah
you
know,
it
slipped
my
mind
it
was
at
the
same
time
I
was
makin'
a
long
distance
call.
So
that
day
before
yesterday
I
ran
into
the
problem
just
making
them
calls
an
hollers
And
I
picked
up
the
envelope
that
contained
my
bill
guess
what:
500
dollars!
Now,
the
next
time
I
call
this
big-leg-cutie
to
make
myself
a
date
I'm
gonna
call
that
girl
way
after
nine
and
get
me
the
evening
rate!
Now,
I
ain't
gonna
tell
her,
shh,
ain't
gonna
tell
her
nothin'
to
blow
my
frown
thing,
But
it'll
be
way,
way,
way
after
nine
when
she'll
hear
her
telephone
ring!
Ring
it!
Ring
it!
Ring
that
telephone!
Ring
it!
Ring
it!
Ring
that
telephone!
I
said:
ring
it!
Ring
it!
Have
yourself
a
thrill!
And
when
you
ring
it,
ring
it:
watch
your
phone
bill!
Now
I
paid
the
bill
and
the
deal
was
real
and
my
talking
resumed
and
all.
A,
ah,
I
said:
from
now
on,
pal,
I
must
stick
to
my
local
calls!
Now,
a
few
weeks
passed,
and
I
would
just
guess
y-you
know
what
I'm
talkin'
about
I
say,
when
I
got
the
bill
the
figure
was
so
low,
I
was
impressed!
Knock
me
out!
Now,
shortly
that
after
something
stopped
my
laughter,
I
was
upside
diggin'
in
the
yard,
Heard
a
"ding"
and
I
heard
a
"dong"
it
was
the
phone!
Ooh,
my
Lord!
Say,
I
dropped
my
shovel
and
my
body
I
levelled
and
I
made
me
a
100-yard
dash
And
then
I
straightened
up
my
clothes
and
I
blew
my
nose
through
a
kleenex
in
the
trash.
I
composed
myself
and
I
picked
up
the
phone
and
I
was
still
kinda
huffin'
and
puffin'
And
the
operator
said
"would
you
accept
a
collect
call?"
I
said:
"Ain't
that
nothin'?"
But,
uh,
I
was
just
cool,
'cause,
you
know,
I
didn't
wanna
be
no
fool,
and,
see,
I
didn't
know
who
it
was
It
was
the
big-legged
cutie
from
up
off
the
coast
tellin'
me
that
she
was
in
love!
Then,
now,
for
three
whole
minutes
I
planned
to
talk
not
now
you
all
know
I
ain't
never
lied!
But,
in
love
or
not,
I
planned
to
stop
when
the
third
minute
arrived!
I
went
three
minutes
past
it
occured
to
me:
ooh!
She
might
talk
a
week!
I-I
said:
"I'm
sorry,
Baby,
look,
I
gotta
go!"
She
was
a
telephone
freak!
She
said:
"Oh,
Johnny,
talk
a
little
longer!
With
you
I'm
so
in
love!"
I
said:
"I
know,
where
you're
comin'
from,
I
can
dig
it!
I
gotta
go
rehearse
at
the
club!"
She
said:
"Well,
if
you
gotta
go
rehearse
I'll
call
you
later,
there's
some
I
gotta
tell
you
what's
on
my
mind!"
I
said:
"Well,
yeah
okay,
Baby,
you
can
call
me
back
anytime
after
nine!"
Ring
it!
Ring
it!
Ring
that
telephone!
Why
don't
you
ring
it?
Ring
it?
Ring
that
telephone?
And
when
you
ring
it,
ring
it,
have
yourself
a
thrill!
And
ring
it,
ring
it:
watch
your
phone
bill!
