The Phone Call Lyrics > Lucky Stiff

VOICE OVER(spoken)
Welcome to Nice Airport!
Ground transportation for visitors proceeding to Monte Carlo is available on the lower level *fades*

VINNY(spoken)
Uh, hello?

VINNY(sung)
Mary Alice?
Can you hear me?
Listen honey, I'm calling to tell you
There's a problem
Are you sitting?
Well, I won't be home for dinner tonight
You know Nicky?
Rita's husband?
Well I think he is planning to kill me!

Mary Alice
It's not funny
And I won't be home for dinner tonight!
Don't hold the meatloaf
Don't toss the salad
Don't talk to strangers
(And make up some excuse for mom)

Call all my patients
Break my appointments
Please, Mary Alice just be calm!

Are you finished?
Are you better?
Mary Alice, you're overreacting!
Honey bunny, are you crying?

It's your birthday?!
Gee, I'm sorry.
Mary Alice, it's only a birthday!
So you're fourty
I'm in danger!
And I can't come home for dinner

So blow out the candles
Open the presents
Please, Mary Alice
I'm in Europe
In an airport
With no wallet, no cards, and no money
With my sister- who is crazy
And who's got me in an awful jam!

So the answer, Mary Alice
Is I won't be home for dinner!
Mary Alice-
Mary Alice?

Damn.
