Story Behind The Song

The story is that we do not give enough time to personal relationships, in the family and out, business and personal. Animals still interact as they always did.

Song Description

Everybody is busy. Cellular phones, emails, texting, have almost replaced face-to-face relationships. Animals still interact as they always did.

Lyrics

Ain't Nobody Got No Time to Talk to Nobody No Mo'

Ain't nobody got no time to talk to nobody no mo'
You call them up on the telephone and the voice mail says hello
Call-waiting says would you hold on please; they say I got to go
Cause ain't nobody got no time to talk to nobody no mo'

We all got beepers and cellular phones and email on the line
Now we could sit and talk together if we just take the time
But we rush in and we rush right out when we just got in the door
Cause ain't nobody got no time to talk to nobody no mo'

So I went down to the city morgue; might as well talk to the dead
But somebody yelled, 'it's cold down here;' scared me right out of my head
I ran out with wings on my feet without even touching the floor
Now I don't wanna and I ain't got time to talk to the dead no mo'

Then I went down to the city hall to put my protest in
A lady called from behind a wall; she says you gotta pay to get in
I said ma'am I own this place cause I pay all of your bills
And this quiet war ya'll is carryin' on is a terrible way to kill

Then I went down to the city jail, but they wouldn't let me in
They said you must needs to commit a crime; I said that would be a sin
They said take your protest to the court; court said the docket's full
Now I don't know but I believe that somebody's pulling the wool

So I went down to the city pound; they said come right in
The dogs and cats were talking back and playing in their pens
I said, sir, I'll buy them all and put them in my store
Cause ain't nobody got no time to talk to nobody no mo'

Ain't nobody got no time to talk to nobody no mo'
You call them up on the telephone and the voice mail says hello
Call-waiting says would you hold on please; they say I got to go
Cause ain't nobody got no time to talk to nobody no mo'
