Clock strikes upon the 6 PM hour

Thank God I'm not late

Plenty to time to harass Americans

Tonight's gonna be great

I have waited up to now

to bug folks eating evening chow

and when the night falls

I start makin' calls

I wanna disturb somebody

Yeah, I wanna call up somebody

Call up somebody I can't see

Oh I wanna call up somebody

I worked before, in nothing jobs

and they didn't pay too much

Sooner or later, I got out

Now I reach out and touch

I needed a job that gave me the chance

to do more than sell insurance

and when the night falls

I start makin' calls
