Song DescriptionWhat would Alexander Graham Bell do if he could see the Smart Phone and all it can do? He'd be doing a flip in his grave. Have a tough time solving math problems? The Smart Phone can help you with that. But watch out! Don't check your brains at the door, and remember to pay attention to the people and kids you are with. Don't let your phone take over your life and relationships.
Story Behind the SongBeing born in 1953, I've seen everything from dial phones to smart phones and everything in between. Now that I own a smart phone, I am amazed at all it can do, so I decided to write a song about it.

Lyrics
I know a man who's doin' a flip, doin' a flip in his grave
Alexander Graham Bell.... If only he could be here today
And see just what his phone has become! Smarter than a Ph.d.
Just swipe the screen and ask away. You don't have to know how to read!
CHORUS: Just Google it! Schmoogle it! Bamboozle it!
Why bother learning on your own? Just ask your little phone!
When I was a kid, I struggled with math. I busted my brains in that class.
Addition, subtraction, long division. My parents were proud when I passed.
But now it's a cinch; when I'm in a pinch, I whip out my prodigy.
I swipe the screen and ask away. I think I forgot how to think!
CHORUS: I Google it! Schmoogle it! Bamboozle it!
Why solve the problem on your own? Just ask your little phone.
BRIDGE: Well who strives anymore? Take a trip to the smart phone store.
Sign your name on the line. You better pay your bill on time.
Swipe the screen; ask away. Cuz Siri is here to stay!
Goodbye, Books! Goodbye, Maps! So long, Tapes and CD's.
Gone are the days when people took walks to stare at the sky and trees.
But isn't it tragic, with all this magic, we neglect our kids on the swings?
"Hey watch me, Mom! " "Come push me, Dad!" But the parents just stare at their screens.
CHORUS: They Google it, Schmoogle it, Bamboozle it!
With all this technology, we're losin' it.
C'mon, get a life of your own!
Yank yourself out of that zone!
Some things are best overthrown.
Please learn when to turn off your phone!
