Whole song]  D#   A#   C#  G#  
[Verse 1]
D#Mom and dad are goin A#out for the evening, and you're C#stuck inside the house all aG#lone
That's when you D#decided it might be fun to harA#ass someone, dial a random C#number up on your telepG#hone
D#You ask if their refrigA#erator is running, then you tC#ell em they should go out and cG#atch it, buddy
If they D#ever figured out where you were A#callin em from, they'd come and C#bust your head right in with a G#ratchet
[Chorus 1] 
D#Don't go makin' A#phony calls, please stick to the C#seven-digit numbers you're G#used to
I know that you D#think it's funny drivin' folks A#up the wall, but it's really C#gettin' old fastG#

D#Little Melvin has a nA#atural obsession, askin' C#for Prince Albert in a G#can
He gets a D#kick each time he makA#es a collect call, to some C#guy he doesn't know who lives G#in Japan
