"Call Me Up (The Phone Is In The Cradle)"

Call me up

My friends, they don't talk much 'bout the legend
My friends, they don't talk much anyway
When they do, I know I better listen
'Cause my good friends just naturally know
The right things to say. They say

"Call me up. The phone is in the cradle
Get yourself a liver to my door
But if you saw any plan and if you got the time
We could talk the night away."

I don't got so lonely and I've gotta
He said, "It's tough to be the only man alive."
He said, "I'd give a river for just somebody to talk to."
We're thinking in lighting out for biting
We came strolling by. She said

"Call me up. The phone is in the cradle
Get yourself a liver to my door
But if you saw any plan and if you got the time
We could talk the night away."

Now Rosy was a queen of the all-night cowboy
She said, "Texas boy using kind of shy
Don't you expect the nimble's invitation
Just knock on the wall
Track down the hall and drop on by."
She said

"Call me up the phone is in the cradle
Get yourself a liver to my door
But if you saw any plan and if you got the time
We could talk the night away."
