luigi cappel - telephone card lyrics
[verse 1: cappel]
it’s late at night and i wanna go home
but i ain’t got a card to call a cab on the phone
oh mr patel will you give me a loan
for a telephone card
[verse 2: cappel]
oh goodness gracious me what is that on your wrist
is that being a seiko, christ i must be p-ssed
if you give it to me i will be giving you a loan
for a telephone card
[verse 3: cappel]
so i gave him my watch and i gave him my name
i said i’ll be back tomorrow, he said what a shame
but i’m going to have to trust you when i loan you this
two dollar telephone card
[chorus: cappel]
you can’t buy food with a telephone card
just some borrowed time on the telephone line
20 cents a minute, how many words can you get in
before you’re talking to yourself
life is mighty fine with a telephone card
i’m in high regard with my telephone card
at 20 cents a minute there must be something in it
for you and me
[verse 4: cappel]
so i’m walking down the road and to my surprise
i find a telephone booth that’s not vandalized
well at least its got a phone, two windows and a slot
for my telephone card
[verse 5: cappel]
well i put in my card and i pick up the phone
i dial the number and get the ringing tone
i push b-tton a and there’s 20 cents gone
off my telephone card
[verse 6: cappel]
now the lady says taxi, cause that’s the number i called
i said i wanna go home, she says don’t they all?
she says how you gonna pay?
i say i’ve got a telephone card
[verse 7: cappel]
she said that won’t do no that won’t do at all
i said how about visa, she said now you’re walking tall
but that was a good joke when you said that you would pay
with a telephone card
[chorus: cappel]
you can’t buy food with a telephone card
just some borrowed time on the telephone line
20 cents a minute, how many words can you get in
before you’re talking to yourself
life is mighty fine with a telephone card
i’m in high regard with my telephone card
at 20 cents a minute there must be something in it
for you and me
[verse 8: cappel]
well she sounded kinda nice so i asked her name
she said i’m not telling you cause i know your game
she said hey big spender, you can’t date me
on a telephone card
[verse 9: cappel]
i said listen here lady, i was being polite
i am standing here alone and the stars are shining bright
you wouldn’t have the chance to talk to me tonight
without my telephone card
[verse 10: cappel]
she said maybe you’re right, perhaps i got it all wrong
i said baby let me tell you, i won’t string you along
why don’t you pick e up because there’s more to me
than my telephone card
[verse 11: cappel]
she said maybe you’re the man that i’ve always desired
i said hurry right along because i don’t wanna get tired
and that was round about the time that my 2 dollars expired
on my telephone card
