Ring, ring, ring
Goes the telephone
Will someone answer
The answer is known
A human voice
Is rarely heard
A recorded voice
Recites every word
The recorded voice
Tells you what to do
Record your message
Hang up when you’re through
The business you call
Records the voice
Listing menu options
That are multiple choice
How many options
One, two or three
Anymore choices
Really do confuse me
Select an option
From the option tree
They’re away from their desk
You knew they would be
Their cell phone number
You can call
If there’s no answer
They’ll tell ya’ll
That lady’s voice
You’ll always hear
To leave a message
Her instructions are clear
To leave a message
Press one now
Or wait for the beep
You should know how
When a real voice
Answers “hello”
It always reminds me
Of years ago
