(verse 1)
Well back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell,
Invented a contraption that we know so well,
By the 1950's they're in everybody's home,
As a crazy little thing they call the telephone,
Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar,
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car,
So tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
Tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
I said now darlin' (darlin') honey (honey) what is your excuse,
Why haven't I heard from you,
(verse 2)
Well there's no problem gettin' to me Baby you can dial direct,
I got call forward and call waiting You can even call collect,
The service man he told me that my phone was workin' fine,
And I have come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line,
I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you through,
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you,
So tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
Tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
I said now darlin' (darlin') honey (honey) what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you,
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud,
A fire that burns up the wires,
And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud,
A natural disaster I know nothing about,
(ending chorus)
So tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
Tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
I said now darlin' (darlin') honey (honey) what is your excuse,
Why haven't I heard from you,
So tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
Tell me why (why) haven't I (haven't I) heard from you,
Why haven't I heard from you,
I said now darlin' (darlin') honey (honey) what is your excuse,
Why haven't I heard from you,
