Mom and dad are goin` out for the evening 
And you`re stuck inside the house all alone 
That`s when you decided it might be fun to harass someone 
Dial a random number up on your telephone 
You ask if their refrigerator is running 
Then you tell `em they should go out and catch it 
Buddy, if they ever figured out where you were callin` `em from 
They`d come and bust your head right in with a ratchet 
Listen to me 
Don`t go makin` phony calls 
Please stick to the seven-digit numbers you`re used to 
I know that you think it`s funny drivin` folks up the wall 
But it`s really gettin` old fast 
Little Melvin has a natural obsession 
Askin` for Prince Albert in a can 
He gets a kick each time he makes a collect call 
To some guy he doesn`t know who lives in Japan 
He`s callin` strangers up at three in the morning 
Gives `em pizza pie delivery at four 
He won`t be laughin when they`re tracin` his line 
One day the phone police will be there at his door 
Yo, hear me 
Don`t go makin` phony calls 
Only dial the seven-digit numbers you`re used to 
Swear someday I`m gonna yank that phone cord right out from the wall 
How long is this phase gonna last? 
Come on 
Moe`s bar, what`ll ya eat, beat or drink? 
Uh, yeah, hello, is Mike there? Last name Rotch. 
Hold on. I`ll check. Mike Rotch! Mike Rotch! Hey, has anybody 
seen Mike Rotch lately? 
Listen to me, you little puke. One of these days, I`m going to 
catch you, and I`m going to carve my name on your back with an 
ice pick! 
Don`t go makin` phony calls 
Please stick to the seven-digit numbers you`re used to 
You went through the New York City phone book and prank called `em all 
Hope that you grow out of this fast 
Dont` go makin` phony calls, 
Please stick to the seven-digit numbers you`re used to 
Betcha think it`s funny when you`re drivin` folks right up the wall 
But you`re just a pain in the aaa....
