( Funny voice mail song lyrics )
LOST IN A VOICE MAIL JUNGLE
Copyright © 2001 - mickterry.com

1: An urgent call to Memphis
to reach a friend of mine;
a vital question, yes or no,
should not take too much time.
The only time to reach him
is in the early day
before his noon departure
for a three-week trip away.

I dial his office number,
direct line to his desk.
Instead of hearing his deep voice,
I get this message next:
"You've reached the lines of AirTech.
Our menu has been changed."
And then she drones directions,
but not a single name.

CHORUS:
Lost in a voice mail jungle.
Trapped in a phone mail maze.
No one to help if I should stumble.
Stuck in a loop. Could be lost for days.

2: "Dial 1 if you speak English.
Dial 2 for Portuguese.
"Dial 3 if you know the secret code.
Dial 4 if you brushed your teeth ... "
And on and on and so forth,
until I just give in,
press "0" to reach a human,
but then it starts again.

"Dial 1 if you speak English ... "
This time I hear them all,
and find a name directory
to help complete my call.
Before I finish spelling
my friend's quite lengthy name,
it offers three names to me,
but none are quite the same.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
One ringey-dingey, two ringey-dingey.
Where's that human touch?
Three ringey-dingey, four ringey-dingey.
It's getting to be way too much.

3: I try the same procedure:
again, the same results.
In heightened desperation now:
is this so difficult?
I try the offered persons,
get nothing but voice mail.
The violent way I'm feeling,
I might end up in jail.

I'm getting so frustrated,
I'm slamming down the phone.
And even though I've hung it up,
it calls me back at home.
"Dial 1 if you speak English ... "
By now, my friend has gone.
And now my phone is flying
out the window to the lawn.
CHORUS:
