Lyrics:

I was way away from home
And I didn't know what to do
So I grabbed the telephone
Because I felt blue
It rang, and rang, and rang
It rang til it got dizzy
And then a big bass voice said, 'Hello?
'Stop ringing 'cause I'm busy!'

I says 'Who is you?' He says 'Who is you?'
I said 'This is Mr. Bones'
He says 'Who is you?' I says 'Who is you?'
He says 'This is Shorty Jones'
'Get out of my house! Get out of my house!
'Get out of my house, you mouse!
'Let the door hit you where the dog bit you
'Well that Shorty's got to go!'

I was way away from home
And I didn't know what to do
So I grabbed the telephone
Because I felt blue
It rang, and rang, and rang
It rang til it got dizzy
And then a big bass voice said, 'Hello?
'Stop ringing 'cause I'm busy!'

I says 'Who is you?' He says 'Who is you?'
I said 'This is Mr. Bones'
He says 'Who is you?' I says 'Who is you?'
He says 'This is Shorty Jones'
'Get out of my house! Get out of my house!
'Get out of my house, you mouse!
'Let the door hit you where the dog bit you
'Well that Shorty's got to go!'
