Verse 1
D
It used to be so easy to
Gm
G
use the telephone.
D
You'd pick it up and dial,
A
and they would answer if they were home.
D
But then the an swering machine
G
helped us cut the cord.
D
Now callers could be screened,
A
or better yet, ignored.
D
Then came call waiting.
G
Ah, we don't let that upset us.
D
Though I have come to call,
A
D
call waiting, chat us, interrupt us.
Em
But there's a brand new service.
F#m
It's called Star 69.
G
It redials the last person who called
you
A
and puts them back on the line.
D
There's call forwarding,
there's beepers,
G
there's call conferencing
and such.
D
Hey, panoply of choices.
A
Sometimes it's all too much.
D
You see, there was a sweet young girl,
G
so trusting, so naive.
D
You could tell her anything
A
and she would believe.
D
She met a computer repairman,
G
his name was Jim,
D
and it was just a matter of time
A
D
before she truly cared for him.
Though he crisscrossed the country,
G
he'd see her whenever he could.
D
She grew to love him deeply,
A
thought him kind,
and thought him good.
D
But there was one thing about him
G
she considered a minor quirk.
Gm
D
He said he had no home phone,
A
D
she must contact him at work.
Em
Then it was his beeper number
F#m
he instructed her to dial.
G
He'd always call her back
so fast
A
D
his haste would make her smile.
G
D
They carried on for months like this
G
until one rainy day.
D
She called him on the beeper.
A
D
He did not call back right away.
Em
But when he did,
she heard background noises
F#m
that made her suspicious.
G
Was that babies crying?
A
Was that someone doing dishes?
Em
When they hung up,
she sat and pondered
F#m
for quite some time.
G
Then with shaky hand,
A
she dialed star 69.
D
A woman answered the telephone.
G
The young girl asked for Jim,
D
then quickly added, Who is this?
A
The woman said, I'm married to him.
D
The conversation that followed
G
was the kind that men most dread.
D
The young girl told the wife
A
D
Em
everything her husband ever said, or ever did,
or bought, or promised her.
F#m
Then the wife had her say too
G
About the three young children
A
And how her income
pulled them through.
D
They talk, they cry, they talk, they laugh
G
Now you could say he's in a bind
D
All because the phone company
A
D
has given us star sixty -nine.
Modern conveniences can help you
G
But they can backfire
D
If you are the kind of person
A
who is a liar.
D
In this global village,
G
it is best to tell the truth.
D
And beware if someone's
courting you
A
D
from a telephone booth.
Yes, in this global village,
G
take this as a sign.
D
A
G
D
Remember that repairman in Star 69.
