And the day goes dis-mal from
“Break-fast Barney” to the sign- - off prayer,
What a sorry face you get to wear.
I’m gonna tell you a-gain now if you’re still list’nin there,
If you’re drivin’ into town with a dark cloud above you
A7Sus4
Dial in the number who’s bound to love you.
If you’re lyin’ on the beach with a tran- sistor going
A7Sus4
Kick off the sandflies, honey, the love’s still flowing.
If your head says, “Forget it!” but your heart’s still smokin’
A7Sus4
Call me at the station, the lines are open.
