Mr. Bell's Invention almost got me killed last night
But why blame a long gone dead man cus my life ain't right
The one I'm fooling 'round with plumb forgot my wife was home
So here's the way I alibied when I beat her to the phone
Hello Bill, Is that you Bill? How are you doing Bill
No, Bill, Wish I could Bill, Not tonight
Though my wife stood back there
Listening I could see she wasn't thrilled
When I turned to her with innocent
Eyes and said, "Honey, that was Bill"
Hello Bill means that I love you, Dear with all my heart
Is that you Bill means that I'm sorry that we're so far apart
How are you doing means that tomorrow we can be alone
Anything I say after No, Bill, means my wife's on the other phone
Hello Bill, Is that you Bill? How are you doing Bill
No, Bill, Wish I could Bill, Not tonight
Though my wife stood back there
Listening I could see she wasn't thrilled
When I turned to her with innocent
Eyes and said, "Honey, that was Bill"
