And say, "Hey, A and R, this is Mister Rhythm and Blues (ooh)

You said, "Hello", And put me on hold

To say the least, the cat was cold

He said, "Don't call us, child, we'll call you" Yeah

I said, "You got my number?"

He said, "Yeah, I got it when you walked in the door"

Don't call us, we'll call you

Don't call us, we'll call you

Oh yeah, there's a way we do it, say

I got your name from a friend of a friend

Who said, he used to work with you

You remember the all night creature, from Stereo 92? (Ooh), yeah

I said, "Could you relate to our quarter track tape?

You know, the band performs in the nude"

He said, "Uh-huh, don't call us, child, we'll call you", Whoa

Listen, kid, you paid for the call

You ain't bad, but we've heard it all, before

And it uh, sounds like uh, John, Paul and George

Child, anyway

Anyway, we cut a hit, and we toured a bit with a song, he said he couldn't use

And now, he calls, and begs, and crawls (ooh)

It's telephone déjà vu

We got percentage points, and lousy joints

And all the glitter, we can use, mama

So, ha, don't call us now, we'll call you, whoa

You may hear this one too, before I said, "You know"

I said, "Listen, kid, you paid for the call"

Hell, well, you ain't bad, but I've heard it all before, uh (oh, damn, we ain't the same, yeah)

Don't call us (we'll call you)

Don't call us

Don't call us (we'll call you)

Don't call us (we'll call you)

Don't call us
