Mobile phones, mobile phones,
With their silly ringing tones,
Everyone you know will own,
An annoying mobile phone.
In Timbuktu or Marrakech,
They have the latest and the best
In Istanbul and Paris too,
They text while sitting on the loo!
In New York or in Mombai,
In Beijing or in Shang-hai,
People calling on their phones,
On and on and on they drone.
Mobile phones, mobile phones,
With their silly ringing tones,
Everyone you know will own,
An annoying mobile phone.
People with their mobile phones,
Phoning friends or phoning home,
Talking loudly on the tube,
At home when sitting in the nude!
With thumbs worn out from sending texts,
With painful cricks within their necks,
People talking into the air,
Is anybody really there?
Mobile phones, mobile phones,
With their silly ringing tones,
Everyone you know will own,
An annoying mobile phone.
Listening hard when in a meeting,
To the presenter that is speaking,
When you hear that chirpy tone,
From the dreaded mobile phone.
Mobile phones, they’re everywhere,
People use them on the stairs,
Or when walking down the street.
Even when they’re trying to eat!
Mobile phones, mobile phones,
With their silly ringing tones,
Everyone you know will own,
An annoying mobile phone.
So if you want to talk or chat,
With someone about this or that,
Don’t approach them face to face,
But phone them from another place!
