Tears On The Telephone

[Kathy]
Hello!
[Claude]
Say listen, your mummy is she home?
Please tell her there's somebody on the telephone.
[Kathy]
Ah, you're the man who phoned before, she's in the bath
I'll call her through the door, but she can't come to the phone, I'm sure.
[Claude]
Ask her to please me
Tell her it's quite important just go and see.
[Kathy]
Say, you want something from my mamma?
Each time she hears you ring, she says "shhh, tell him I'm not in".
[Claude]
But tell me, are you enjoying school?
Now I suppose you're learning the golden rule.
[Kathy]
Oh yes, school's a little way away
Because mummy works, a neighbour takes me there each day.
Sometimes a friend's daddy calls for me
'Cause I'm the one with no daddy, you see.
[Claude]
Oh, tell her it's been long
Six years of loneliness, that's how old you are I guess.
[Kathy]
Oh no, I'm five no more!
But you must have known my mummy before.
She never told me your name though, hold on, don't go.
[Claude]
Tears on the telephone, I cry pretending
Her voice is kissing mine as we make love along the line.
Tears on the telephone, my dream is ending
Though not so long ago, she loved me so.
In summer, you'll go to St. Tropez
The same old Grand Hotel there, do you swim each day?
[Kathy]
Oh yes, I'm a good swimmer, I love the sand as well.
But tell me, how do you know about the Grand Hotel?
When did you stay at St. Tropez?
[Claude]
Oh, tell her I need you
I love the two of you, yes, the two of you.
[Kathy]
Love us two, I've never set eyes on you.
Is there something wrong?
You're talking differently, oh don't cry, don't cry.
[Claude]
Tears on the telephone, I cry pretending
Her voice is kissing mine as we make love along the line.
Tears on the telephone, my dream is ending
Though not so long ago she loved me so, I didn't mean to cry.
Tears on the telephone, but it's goodbye now
For I'll be on a flight leaving tonight.
Oh do try again now.
[Kathy]
But she's leaving
[Claude]
Please try to stop her.
[Kathy]
I can't, she's gone.
[Claude]
Well if she's gone then, I'll say goodbye.
[Kathy]
Goodbye mister.
[Claude]
Goodbye little one.
