Last night I didn't hear the beep at all, no, no
I called you up and listened til your message's through
Waited for the beep so I could leave one too (one for you)

Oh, and last night I got to thinkin' maybe I, I, I
Am going deaf and now can't hear the higher tones
Not thinking that it could just be your telephone
So last night I didn't hear the beep at all

BRIDGE
I thought it was my fault, I could not hear
I got the Q-tips out and reamed my ear
But more and more I find my hearing's not declined
Your telephone should be replaced (be replaced)

Oh, last night I didn't make another call, no, no
The sleepin' pill I took knocked me for a loop
I didn't even wake up when I had to poop
And last night I didn't hear the beep, didn't change the sheets
No, I didn't hear the beep at all

(instrumental)

I thought it was my fault, I could not hear
I got the Q-tips out and reamed my ear
But more and more I find my hearing's not declined
Your telephone should be replaced (be replaced)

Oh-uh-oh last night I thought I couldn't hear at all no, no
I can't use my alarm, this is not much fun
How will I ever know when my pot roast is done
And last night I didn't hear the beep, didn't hear the beep
No, I didn't hear the beep at all

No, no, no
No, no, no

Last night I didn't hear the beep, no, no
Last night I didn't hear the beep at all
FADE
(oh, oh)
