The Lyrics
The term “Ma Bell” comes to
us from a line
of copper that was runnin’ through
the land, wirin’
up houses, wirin’.
The Feds couldn’t stand it. . .
on Ma they came down
and saw fit to brandish
a consent decree—made Ma unwound.
And then Ma Bell was through—
well, for a time,
short time.
Then ensued
Seven who
became few—
you know who’s left there now:
a twisted pair
one’s AT&T. .
bad news then, now. . .
“You hear me?!”
A new Ma Bell ensues
given ’nuff time.
