Machine Answering

Joey Ayala

[Verse 1]
I had a phone pal long ago
I loved her voice but her face she never showed to me
I call her almost everyday
Even when there is nothing to say
And then one day I’m all alone
I call her on the telephone

[Verse 2]
Her telephone ring an’ ring an’ ring
While I think about the things I want to say to her
When she answers I will say “Hello
You don’t know me, but you, I know.”
Her telephone ring a fеw more times
And suddenly hеr voice is on the line, saying:

[Refrain]
"This is a machine answering
I am not here but you can talk to me
This is a machine answering
I go out for a while but I shall return
This is a machine answering
Speak your name and your telephone number
This is a machine
This is a machine
This is a machine answering."

[Verse 3]
O the phone’s supposed to be good for conversation
But what can you talk about with automation
I scratch my head and try to say something
Then I shake my head ‘cause I can say nothing
While wondering what to tell my friend
The answering machine answers again, saying:

[Refrain]
"This is a machine answering
I am not here but you can talk to me
This is a machine answering
I go out for a while but I shall return
This is a machine answering
Speak your name and your telephone number
This is a machine
This is a machine
This is a machine answering."

[Verse 4]
I said “If I am here but you’re not there
How can we talk to each other?
If you’re not there you cannot hear
The secret message that’s for you, my dear
I whisper now so you will know
The secret is – I love you so.”
And she says

[Refrain]
"This is a machine answering
I am not here but you can talk to me
This is a machine answering
I go out for a while but I shall return
This is a machine answering
Speak your name and your telephone number
This is a machine
This is a machine
This is a machine answering."

[Refrain]
"This is a machine answering
I am not here but you can talk to me
This is a machine answering
I go out for a while but I shall return
This is a machine answering
Speak your name and your telephone number
This is a machine
This is a machine
This is a machine answering."

[Outro]
Answering
This is a machine answering
Answering
This is a machine answering
Answering
This is a machine answering
