"Telephone Thing" lyrics

"Telephone Thing"

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

How dare you assume I wanna parlez-vous with you
Sorry to be so short with you
But I'm tapped (What?)
But I'm tapped

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

The use of, uh, larger, uh, uh, and your smug advertisements
Of your tendril ocean bed
Achievements does not justify
Your abuse of privacy piracy act

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
I feel you, telephone thing, listenin' in

How dare you assume I wanna parlez-vous with you
Gretchen Franklin, nosey matron thing

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

Sense you

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

How dare you assume I wanna parlez-vous with you
Gretchen Franklin, nosey matron type

Does the Home Secretary
Have the barest, faintest
Inkling of what's goin' down?

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

The use of, uh, larger, uh, uh, and your smug advertisements
Of your tendril ocean bed
Achievements does not justify
Your abuse of privacy piracy act

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
I feel you, telephone thing, listenin' in

How dare you assume I wanna parlez-vous with you
Gretchen Franklin, nosey matron thing

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

Sense you

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

Sense you

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
How dare you assume I wanna parlez-vous with you

I'm tapped

I hear you, telephone thing, listenin' in
I hear you, telephone thing
