Why Haven't I Heard From You Songtext / Lyric

WELL BACK IN 1876 AN OLD BOY NAMED BELL
INVENTED A CONTRAPTION THAT WE KNOW SO WELL
BY THE 1950'S THEY'RE IN EVERYBODY'S HOMES
IT'S A CRAZY LITTLE THING THEY CALL THE TELEPHONE
NOW THERE'S ONE ON EVERY CORNER IN THE BACK OF EVERY BAR
YOU CAN GET ONE IN YOUR BRIEFCASE
ON A PLANE OR IN YOUR CAR

(CHORUS) TELL ME WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD FROM YOU
TELL MY WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD FROM YOU
I SAID NOW DARLIN' HONEY WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE
WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD FROM YOU

WELL THERE'S NO PROBLEM GETTING TO ME
BABY YOU CAN DIAL DIRECT
I'VE GOT CALL FORWARD AND CALL WAITING
YOU CAN EVEN CALL COLLECT
THE SERVICE MAN HE TOLD ME THAT MY PHONE WAS RINGIN' FINE
AND I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION TROUBLE ISN'T w/ MY LINE
NOW I'M SURE THE OPERATOR
WOULD BE GLAD TO PUT YOU THROUGH
SO DIAL ZERO FOR ASSISTANCE IF THIS ALL CONFUSES YOU

(CHORUS)

THERE BETTER'VE BEEN A FLOOD A LANDSLIDE OF MUD
A FIRE THAT BURNS UP THE WIRES
A THUNDER SO LOUD FROM A BLACK FUNNEL CLOUD
A NATURAL DISASTER I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
(CHORUS 2X)
