Answering Machine Song

Writen and sung by Eric Idle, is is from "Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time" album

If you want to leave a message after the tone
Then speak clearly and I'll call you when I'm home
Just say your words and your name
Leave the time and date you called
And I'll get back to you
Unless you're completely a boring old fart

If you want to leave a message after the tone
And darling, forgive me, I'm not home
I'm out shopping or trying to buy a dress
So please leave your message, unless you're in distress

Please, leave a message after the tone
I'm so sorry this is taking me so long
I hope you're not calling from Australia
Or far from Singapore
Or this whole thing is costing you a fortune
As well as being a bore

(Practically choking on tears) Leave a message after the tone
Because... alright, I am! I am home! I am, I am, I am!
I'm locked up in the bathroom all alone
Please, leave a-me a message after the tone......
