Lyrics

Well I bought the latest, greatest gadget
and they said it would do it all.
Change my life, make me smarter
and I'd be loved by all.

Well I used it twice then it broke
and it was only one week old
So I called them up for customer service
and I got put on hold.

Press one for this and two for that
and three to hear it again.
Press four for more and five for less
and six for more options.

Now I've been on hold for about an hour
and my patience is nearly gone.
All I hear is some terrible music
and I'm starting to hum the songs.

Is there anybody on the other end
who's willing to listen to me?
I've got a problem; you've got the answer can I talk to someone please?

Press one for this and two for that
and three to hear it again
Press four for more and five for less
and six for more options

Now I've been on hold for over two hours
and it's starting to piss me off.
I'm cursing and I'm yelling but
nobody's there to talk.

I wonder when the good times starts
and when my life will change.
Cause right now I'm stuck on hold
and I'm having a mental strain.

Press one for this and two for that
and three to hear it again.
Press four for more and five for less
and six for more options.

Now I've been on hold for about three hours
and I don't want to wait anymore.
I think it would have been quicker
if I'd returned it to the store.

By the time it takes to get it fixed
and working like it should
There will be a better gadget
and this will be no good.

Press one for this and two for that
and three to hear it again.
Press four for more and five for less
and six for more options

Then someone finally answer's
and I ask can you help me please.
She looks it up and says, yes sir
I see it's under warranty.

So I tell her about the problem
and she listens to all my woes.
Then she says, I'm sorry I can't help you,
I'll have to put you back on hold

and it's one for this and two for that
and three to hear it again.
four for more and five for less
and six for more options.

What other options?
Press six for more options.
How many can there be?
Press six for more options.
I'm never buying this brand again!

Fun........ A complaint set to music, almost a rap except this one is sung, and sung quite well. It is traditional in that it tells a story, and the music is traditional. The lyrics are very funny. we have all experienced the On Hold telephone phenomenon, suffered from it, and it gets treated thoroughly in this song. Very clever.

Great song idea. Has potential.

fun folk tune, tells a story we all can "get".
