Song title: Temporary out of order


Temporary out of order

Well I call my baby the other day
Ah this is just what, what went down, yeah
I said "You remember our, our Friday night date, don't ya?"
She said "sure, yeah, sure I do"
But come Friday, no, she was nowhere to be found
I'm sat at home eatin' my TV dinner
And I'm watchin' the late late show
I've tried so hard but can't seem to sleep
I'll go and ??? more, I'm certain
Wait a minute, I'm gonna call her on the telephone
I ring through to dinf out that she wasn't home

Temporarily out of order
Yeah thats what the operator said now
Temporarily out of order
It's alright, don't worry about it

Temporarily out of order
That's the only thing that I hear
Temporarily out of order
Thats on the phone-set on in my ear
Loss of power too, yes you do this
I keep pushin', temporarily out of service
I ain't lying, oh no, oh no

Na na na na na
Na na na na na yeah
Na na na na na
Na na na na na yeah
Temporarily out of order
Does anybody answer your tune
Till finally I get some power-house on
I'm back on the top of your list, now here we go, oh no

Temporarily out of order
Thats the only thing I hear
Temporarily out of order
Now there's a buzzer pumpin' in my ear

Temporarily out of order
I guess I am, temporarily out of order, oh child, oh child
Temporarily out of order
I'm so made, temporarily out of order
Temporarily out of order
Temporarily out of order
Temporarily out of order
