Ringtone

by Al Yankovic


Lyrics:

Once, not very long ago, I was respected, I was popular (popular, ooh)
But now I hang my head in shame (ahh ooh)
My life is filled with such regret
A bad mistake I can't forget
And now I'll never be the same

Ringtone
Why did I buy this stupid ringtone?
I just can't imagine now what I was thinking at all
(What was I thinking?)
My friends all stare at me whenever I get a call (ahh, whoo)
Well, everybody (everybody)
Everybody (everybody)
Everybody in the world really hates my ringtone

When my phone goes off at work
I look like the biggest jerk
Total strangers want to slap me around

When it's ringin' on the terrace
My neighbors get embarrassed
They're beggin' me to move out of town

Well, it made my wife so sick
She smashed my iPhone with a brick
But I had it fixed, and now its just fine

It's a pain, I sure don't need it
And I probably should delete it
But for me that would be crossin' the line
'Cause I hate to waste a buck ninety nine
Hey, I paid good money for this...

Ringtone
Why did I buy this stupid ringtone?
I just can't imagine now what I was thinking at all
(Really, what was I thinking?)
My friends all stare at me whenever I get a call (ahh, whoo)
Well, everybody (everybody)
Everybody (everybody)
Everybody in the world really hates my ringtone

Ringtone
Ringtone
Ahh, ooh

Chinese factory workers (they hate my ringtone)
Muslim women in burqas (really hate my ringtone)
Starving kids in Angola (they hate my ringtone)
Even folks with Ebola (just hate my ringtone)

All the nuns and nannies (all the welfare mothers)
All the Pakistanis (all the Wayans brothers)
Everyone on the land, everyone on the sea
Every single person everywhere unanimously (hey)

Everybody (everybody)
Everybody (everybody)
Everybody in the whole wide world really hates my
Ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone...
Ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone...
