Lyrics
Oh, how the hell did I get stuck in this place?
Look at my boss?s ugly face?
It?s just the kinda face that his mother could hate ?
How the hell did I get stuck in this place?
I?m doin? my job and I?m slavin? away ?
Just to make my pitiful, weekly pay ?
He gets the credit ?
I get the blame ?
It?s a terrible, horrible
Shame.
Well, the phone rings once - it?s a friend of mine.
He says: ?How are you??
Well, I do fine.
I?m just about due for a personal call.
These goddamn fools drive me up a wall
I can?t wait for Friday
But it?s days away
I just wanna pick up
My guitar and play
I feel like dyin?
And I?m sick of it all
And I needed this Personal Call.
Personal Calls ? Drive him crazy
He wants to call me lazy
Just a little break in my day
Gonna chase my blues away!
Personal Calls ? Drive him crazy
He wants to call me lazy
Just a little break in my day
Gonna chase my blues away!
Well, a personal call is a funny thing
You know it?s for you even before it rings
It doesn?t really matter who it happens ta be
Just as long as they wanna talk to me
Then my boss?s head is spinnin? around
His big, ugly face is wearin? a frown
He sez: ?DON?T HAVE YER BUDDIES CALLIN? YOU HERE?
That man?s just a little bit weird.
Personal Calls ? Drive him crazy
He wants to call me lazy
Just a little break in my day
Gonna chase my blues away!
Personal Calls ? Drive him crazy
He wants to call me lazy
Just a little break in my day
Gonna chase my blues away!
