I can’t help myself
I’ve got an urge that I can’t shake
I’ve got to tell you ’bout my favorite thing
It’s even better than eating ice cream
(and that’s really saying something)

My favorite thing is talking on the telephone
but it’s getting to be an expensive habit
…oh shucks, but who cares?

I pass intimate details on the phone
I like to hear the latest gossip
I’m told Andy Warhol liked it too
and I’ve always wanted to mention him in one of my songs
(acutally it’s not true)

My favorite thing…

I’ve got a friend in the flat next door
We like to talk on the telephone
We talk for hours about nothing very much
It’s deliciously indulgent
(but it’s a waste of money)

My favorite thing…
