Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me on the telephone
I am the Captain,
But you just don't give a damn about my fantasy
You dial my number,
When I'm dreaming' of the places that I like to be
I have been all over in the world
From east to west - I've seen those smiling' Geisha girls
A place beyond the boundaries of Hell -
Mansions you've never seen or smelled
Don't call me up...
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up...
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me up...
Don't call me on the telephone
I am the Captain,
I'll remind you of the fact I don't need no company
I don't want to buy ya
To release me from my daydream, and this fantasy
I have been upon the 7 seas
I've seen the world and all its treasuries
Let me introduce you to the members of the band...
Oh, I forgot...they're sitting dry - on land.
Don't call me up...
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
(Yeah...yeah)
Don't you call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
I don't want you to call me up...
(Yeah...yeah)
Don't you call me up
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Hey...
Don't call me on the telephone
I have been all over in the world
From east to west - I've seen, I've seen those smiling' Geisha girls
A place beyond the boundaries of Hell -
Mansions you've never seen or smelled
So don't call me up
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
NO! He's...I'm...no I'm not home...
Just leave me alone...
Don't call me up when you're alone
Please, don't call here again...
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
No, no, I'm not the father of your baby...no.
Don't call me on the telephone
OH! Don't call me up.
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Yeah, yeah
Don't you call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Baby, hey baby, hey baby - don't call
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Yeah, yeah - don't you call me up...
Don't call me on the telephone
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me on the telephone...
Don't call me up
