Ring, ring, ring
I'm a telephone
A crazy mixed up telephone


An old Micky Mouse song, I played it last time this word was up, and someone wrote to me asking for the recording because he remembered it too, from childhood, and wanted to learn it in full. Finally I was home and figured out how to do that. :-)

Ellen (nursescrubs) said...

Don't write a letter
When you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 AM
From a friend's apartment--
I'd like to choose
How I hear the news.
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday, please.

But my silent fears have gripped me,
right before I reach the phone,
And before my tongue had tricked me,
Must I always be alone.

Like a firefly, lost its light...

So she gets Lisa on the phone
Says she's been traveling alone
