          On The Phone Again...

          ON THE PHONE AGAIN

          aka The Ron Buccarelli Blues

          (Apologies to Willie Nelson)

          On the phone again,
          I can't wait to get on the phone again,
          all my life is taking phone calls from my friends,
          I can't wait to get on the phone again.

          On the phone again,
          doing business where I've never been,
          fiber optics hold me hostage to the ground,
          I can't wait to get on the phone again.

          On the phone again,
          like a bolt of lightning I go down the airwaves,
          One more message to send,
          just waiting for a dial tone so I can fly away.

          Just want to fly away...

          On the phone again,
          I can't wait to get on the phone again,
          tell ATT where they can shove this thing my friend,
          I can't wait to get on the phone again...

          No, I can't wait to get on the phone again...

          Hello...is anyone listening...is anybody there!?
          Whaddya mean, "push pound!?"

          {Hi Ron! Your chain has just been yanked! You're welcome!}
