Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired by a proposition from someone whose looks were gorgeous but whose values were appalling!
Song Description
from SCALA review 2004: "Please Don't Call, though bouncy, boppy and even frenetic in pace, carries a serious, simple warning to a selfish, pedantic, sexist antagonist"

Lyrics
Please Don?t Call
if you?re a user of words like loser
please don?t call
and if your savage wit?ll pounce
on every word I mispronounce
then darling please don?t call
if you demean her
don?t know the name of your cleaner
please don?t call
well you are handsome, charismatic
and you?re tall
and to be standing by your side
would fill a lot of girls with pride
but is that all
?cause you only chat at dinners
with those you decide are winners
please don?t call
cynicism may be fashionable
but at night when your fears assail you
do you really reach for retouched airbrushed beauty
or arms that?ll never fail you
please don?t call
mister benjamin said to me
while he was crouching on all fours
people who prefer track suit pants
and ugg boots don?t start wars
please don?t call
if you?re a user of words like loser
please don?t call
and if your savage wit?ll pounce
on every word I mispronounce
then darling please don?t call
if you demean her
don?t know the name of your cleaner
please don?t call
if you demean her
don?t know the name of your cleaner
please don?t, please don?t, please don?t call
