The Lyrics

"The Telemarketers Song"

Well, they’ll phone you for some cause they say is good
They’ll phone you saying “Please donate .. you should.”
They’ll phone you when you’re tryin’ to get stoned
They’ll phone you up before your mind is blown
But just hang on and let’em drone --
Not ev’rybody must get phoned.

Well, they’ll phone you with a deal that sounds so sweet
What they’re phonin’ with is likelier deceit
They’ll phone you up and say “But wait, there’s more!”
They’ll phone and offer extra stuff galore.
Just say “Not now,”always postpone --
Not ev’rybody must get phoned.

They’ll phone you when you’re watchin’ porn on cable
And , own up ... don’t you hope some phone-sex babe’ll
Chance to phone you while you’re watchin’ people f*ck.
Tho’ it’s known she’ll charge a minute for a buck..
But I would not really bitch and moan …
Not ev’rybody thus gets phoned.

They’ll phone and say they have free gifts to send
That’s baloney, all they have is junk to vend.
They’ll stonewall your “No thanks,” hang on and spar
They’re known to disregard “Au revoir”
If they won’t ring off, hang up your own --
Not ev’rybody must get phoned.

They’ll phone you up and bore you to the bone …
They’ll phone you from Encino to Bayonne …
They’ll phone you if you previously gave. …
They’ll phone you, but if your time you would save
You’ll give’em when they do the old dial tone --
Not ev’rybody must get phoned.

great concept and execution....the unrelenting repitiousness of the original lines fit the theme well

I worked as a telemarketer for an hour and 45 minutes. Then I remembered that I understood the concept of shame. Dial 555-THIS-ROX.

Thanks, all. MP -- my daughter lasted about as long as you did when she tried telemarketing as a part-time gig for beer money during her college days. :-)

Sir Stan, I let "Stan Getz"' take all my calls, while the ~Girl From Ipanema~ plays on my answer phone, this usually does the trick!!
