ANSWERING MACHINES
By
JOHN G. SUTTON
This is Bill and Jean’s answering machine
Sorry that we can’t take your call
Please leave a message after the tone
We'll get back, God bless you all
This is Harry and Joan’s answering machine
We’ve just gone to Rome for the week
Please don’t hang up, wait for the beep
Then say why you called, just speak
This is Bill and Jean’s answering machine
We are out and missed you tonight
Please leave your thoughts, we will respond
After the tone speak, all right?
This is Harry and Joan’s answering machine
We’re off on our holidays to Spain
Do please leave a message for when we get back
Then we can have a talk once again
This is Bill and Jean’s answering machine
If that’s Harry and Joan get this
Each time we call we get your answering machine
Are you two taking the piss?
This is Harry and Joan’s answering machine
Telling Bill and Jean what to do
We are off to the moon, won’t be back soon
Up Yours! and that answering machine too!
