An old song about telephones. Of course, I've had to modify it to reflect modern times...

Story behind the song
So, back in the day, I bought myself a Casio keyboard to take advantage of all this new-fangled midi stuff I kept hearing about. The Casio had a whole bunch of oddball stuff on it including, for inexplicable reason, an entire bank of telephone. I dragged that old keyboard out of storage and brushed about an inch of dust off it for this new version of the song.
Lyrics
When you're on your own And you need someone to talk to Just call me Just call me When you need someone You can call me On the telephone We've got Nigerian princes And call centre scams And my inbox is always full up with spam On this telephone What use is a telephone? You used to call me up Now I can't find you On my telephone So when you need someone You can send a text message When your all alone To my telephone And we can meet somewhere Out of signal range For our telephones
