Answering Machine
A little while ago I went and placed a callTo tell this girl I know that she could have it all The wedding, the ring, the whole dumb thing, I was willing to tie the knotSo I called her up, and this is the answer I got:"I'm so sorry, you have just reached my answering machineI'm not in at present, I'm sure you know this whole routineLeave your name and number, and I'll try to get back to youYou have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're through."And I said,"Baby let's go get married, I need to know you're mineI am hanging on, I am hanging on, I am hanging on this lineAnd if I can leave one message, before you go to bedI would say to you--" And the phone went dead.So I stepped out to buy some dog food for the cat,Of course she called three minutes after that.Would she be me wife and share my life? Well of course you can write the plot:Cuz she called me up, and this is the answer she...got:"I'm so sorry, you have just reached my answering machineI'm not in at present, I'm sure you know this whole routineLetras de cancionesLeave your name and number, and I'll try to get back to youYou have thirty seconds to talk to me before you're through."And she said,"Baby I got your message, I'm answering your callI have thought it out, I have thought it out Ad I think that all in allIf you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time,Then my answer is--"And the phone went...I'm so sorry, you have just reached my answering machine,I'm not in at present, I'm sure you know this whole routine...
