Sugarloaf dont call us well call you lyrics

"Uh, long distance, directory-a**istance, area code 212",
I said, "Hey mama, this is Mr. 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, child, we'll call you"
I said, "You got my number?"
He said, "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 preacher from Stereo-92?"
I said, "Could you relate to our quarter-track tape?
You know the band performs in the nude."
He said, "Uh-uh, don't call us, we'll call you."

"Listen kid, you pay for the call
You ain't bad, but we 've heard it all before
Yeah, it sounds like John, Paul and George."

Anyway, we cut a hit and toured a bit,
With the 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, mama,
So, huh, don't call us, we'll call you!
You may have heard this one before, too:
"Listen kid, you pay for the call
Well, you ain't bad but I've heard it all before."

Don't call us...we'll call you.
Don't call us...we'll call you.

A long distance directory assistance, area code 212
And say, hey, A&R, this is Mister Rhythm and Blues
You said, "Hello" and put me on hold
To say the least, the cat was cold
He said, "Don't call us, child, we'll call you"

I said, "You got my number?"
He said, "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

(Oh yeah, he said wait a minute though, he said)
I got your name from a friend of a friend
Who said he used to work with you
You remember the all night creature 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, "Uh-huh, don't call us, child, we'll call you"

Woo

Well, listen, kid, you paid for the call
You ain't bad but we've heard it all before
And it sounds like John, Paul and George

Child, anyway
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 déjà vu
We got percentage points and lousy joints
And all the glitter we can use, mama
So, ha, don't call us now, we'll call you

Woo

You may hear this one too before I said, you know
I said, listen, kid, you paid for the call
Hell, well you ain't bad but I've heard it all before, uh
Don't call us, we'll call you
Don't call us
Don't call us, we'll call you
Don't call us, we'll call you

A Long distance directory assistance, area code 212
Say hey, A and are 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 child we'll call you

I said, you got my number
He said yeah, I got it when you walked in the door
Don't call us, we'll call you

Yeah I said could you relate to our quarter track tape
You know the band performs in the nude
He said uh huh don't call us child we'll call you

Listen kid you paid for the call
You ain't bad but we've heard it all before
