The Lyrics

Can't imagine going back to a modem.
IP connectin' with dem desk phones,
IP connectin' with dem desk phones,
IP connectin' with dem desk phones.

The modem's connected to the desk phone,
And the desk phone needs to have a pulse tone,
The modem starts blastin' like a trombone,
The script says that number now is unknown,
So now your connection has to postpone,
Disconnect the modem from the desk phone.
Your IP request ignored.

Dem phones, dem phones gonna mess ya 'round,
Dem phones, dem phones make an awful sound,
Dem phones, dem phones your IP is down,
Your IP request ignored.

So the modem's tryin' now to re-home,
And it starts AT-in' for a pulse tone,
It just ain't seein' that inter-net zone,
It's soundin' off louder than a trombone,
Any hope connectin' now is so blown,
Guess you just ain't gettin' to the backbone.

Dem phones, dem phones gonna mess ya 'round,
Dem phones, dem phones make an awful sound,
Dem phones, dem phones your IP is down,
Your IP request ignored.
