  • Well back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
    Invented a contraption that we know so well
    By the 1950's they were in everybody's home
    There's a crazy little thing they call the telephone
    Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar
    You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car

    So tell me why, haven't I, heard from you
    Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
    I said now darlin', honey, what is your excuse
    Why haven't I heard from you

    There's no problem gettin' to me
    Baby you can dial direct
    I got call forwarding, call waiting
    You can even call collect

    When the service man he told me that my phone was workin' fine
    And I've come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line
    I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you through
    So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you

    So tell me why, haven't I, heard from you
    Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
    I said now darlin', honey, what is your excuse
    Why haven't I heard from you

    There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
    A fire that burns up the wires
    And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
    A natural disaster I know nothin' about

    Tell me why, haven't I, heard from you
    Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
    I said now darlin', honey, what is your excuse
    Why haven't I heard from you

    Tell me why, haven't I, heard from you
    Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
    I said now darlin', honey, what is your excuse
    Why haven't I heard from you Writer/s: Sandy Knox, T.W. Hale
