A Long distance, directory assistance,
Area code 212.
Say, hey, A and R this is Mister Rhythm and Blues.
He said, "Hello," and put me on hold.
To say the least the cat was cold.
He said, don't call us, chil',
We'll call you.
I say, "You got my number."
He say yeah, "I got it when
You walked in the door."
Don't call us, we'll call you.
Don't call us, we'll call you.
I got your name from a friend of a friend,
Who said he used to work with you.
Do you remember the all night creatures,
From Stereo Ninety-Two?
"Yeah," I said, "Could you relate
To our quarter track tape?
You know the band performs in the nude?"
He said, "nUh-uh, don't call us, chil',
We'll call you.
Listen, kid, you paid for the call,
You ain't bad but we've heard it all before,
And it sounds like, uh, John, Paul and George.
Anyway, we cut a hit and we toured a bit,
With a song he said he couldn't use.
And now he calls and begs and crawls,
It's telephone deja vu.
We got percentage points and lousy joints,
And all the glitter we can use,
Find more similar lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com/nyGGMama, so, uhh don't call us,
Now we'll call you.
Listen kid you paid for the call,
You ain't bad but I heard it all before.
Don't call us, we'll call you.
Don't call us.
Don't call us, we'll call you.
Fade.
Don't call us, we'll call you.
Don't call us, we'll call you.
DON'T CALL US, WE'LL CALL YOU1
Written by: Jerry Corbetta & John Carter.
Performed by: Sugarloaf2-1975
Appears on: "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" (B-side: "Texas Two-Lane"
45RPM)-1975; Don't Call Us (LP)-1975; The Best of Sugarloaf-1993, Dick
Barley Presents Collector's Essentials: The '70s-1996*3; A Year in Your
Life: 1975, Vol. 1-2001*; Definitive '70s, Vol. 2-2002*; Alive in
America-2006, et al. (*Compilation of various artists.)
1The song "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" is notable because it contained
a practical joke at the expense of CBS Records, which had just turned them
down for a recording contract. The song includes the sound of a touch-tone
telephone number being dialed near the beginning and ending of the song.
Those numbers were an unlisted phone number at CBS Records and a public
number at the White House respectively. In addition, the recording includes
snippets of the guitar riff of The Beatles' "I Feel Fine," Stevie Wonder's
"Superstition," and a line of dialogue from Wolfman Jack stating the call
sign of a radio station.
2Covered by: The Bollock Brothers, Jerry Corbetta, Scott Reeder, et al.
