lyrics

Alright are we having fun yet?
Hehehe here we go…

The telephone is ringing but I aint picking it up
The song they always singing is "Give Your Money To Us"
So instead of banging my head against the walls
I’m gonna have to start screening my calls
The answering machine is gonna fix that mess right up

Modern man has never seen a greater invention
From bill collectors it's electronic intervention
And once you include a Caller ID
I can avoid any number just as pretty as you please
And never never look at the phone with apprehension

Modern man has never seen a greater invention
From annoying people it's the best kind of intervention
Now I just wanna thank my Caller ID
For getting in between my mother and me
I never never look at the phone with apprehension

So go ahead and dial my number until the cows come home
If I don't answer just leave your message at the tone
Cause now I only talk to the people that I like
And everybody else can go take a hike
And I don’t even have to unplug the phone

Modern man has never seen a greater invention
Oh the telephone no longer gives me stress or tension
And now that I got me a Caller ID
I can avoid everybody just as sweet as you please
I never never look at my phone with apprehension
Oh I never never look at the phone with apprehension
Yeah I never never look at the phone with apprehension
