Back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
Invented a contraption
that we know so well
By the 1950's they were
in everybody's home
As a crazy little thing
they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner,
in the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase,
on a plane or in your car
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey,
what is your e cuse
Why haven't I heard from you
Well there's no problem gettin' to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man he told me
that my phone is working fine
And I've come to the conclusion
trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator will
be glad to put you thru
So dial zero for assistance
if this all confuses you
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey,
what is your e cuse
Why haven't I heard from you
There better been a
flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And a thunder so loud
with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey,
what is your e cuse
Why haven't I heard from you
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey,
what is your e cuse
Why haven't I heard from you
