Grandfather watches the grandfather clock 
And the phone hasn't rang for so long 
And the time flies by like a vulture in the sky 
Suddenly he breaks into song 
I'm waiting by the phone 
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone 
I'm waiting by the phone 
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone 
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there? 
These hang-ups are getting me down 
In a world frozen over with over-exposure 
Let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town 
I'm waiting by the phone 
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone 
Cause I want somebody to shove 
I need somebody to shove 
I want somebody to shove me 
You're a dream for insomniacs, prize in the Cracker Jacks 
All the difference in the world is just a call away 
And I'm waiting by the phone 
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone 
Yes I'm waiting by the phone 
I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone

well as you don't actually have an effing phone (to teh best of my knowledge) this will have to do. Hi. How are you? How's life? Any chance of getting back to the States ("Meanwhile---back in the States...") anytime soon?

Hmm... some literalists here, though one make a brilliant shout-out to the Dolls...
This was intended as homage, but perhaps missed the mark.
The Fred, I'm certain, will be an easier target..
