No she's not here right now.
Where is she?
She went out looking-
Looking for what?
Looking for the Holy Grail
But all she found was the Holy Nail!
Stuck in the foot of the Carpenter's wife,
Who wailed in her strife!
Hello is Barbara there?
No she's not here right now.
Where is she?
She went to New York to find out-
Find out what?
To find out which came first the chicken or the egg?
But the answer was quite vague.
Hello is Barbara there?
No she's not here right now,
Where is she?
She went to Paris to see-
Paris! To see what?
To see how many pizza shops are there
Or should I say coffee?
Hello is Barbara there?
No she's not here right now.
Where is she?
She's out-
Out where?
Out, out, out!!!
The poem mocks real life. Because people would call up and want to know everything, like I had all the answers! So I made fun of it.
