The Phone Call

Hello, is this Gladstone 9281? Miss Schaefer?
Hello, Miss Schaefer, you must forgive me for calling so late
But I really feel it's my duty
It's about Mr. Gillis
You do know a Mr. Gillis?
Well, exactly how much do you know about him?
Do you know where he lives? Do you know what he lives on?

I want to spare you a lot of sadness
I don't know what he's told you
But I can guarantee you he doesn't live with mother
Or what you'd call a roommate
He's just a-, I can't say it
Poor Betty, you ask him
I'd love to hear his answer (ah)
Joe!

That's right, Betty, why don't you ask me?

Don't-

Or better yet, come over and see for yourself, yes, right now
The address is 10086 Sunset Boulevard

Don't hate me, Joe, I did it because I need you
Look at me!
Look at my hands, look at my face, look under my eyes
How can I go back to work if I'm wasting away?
No! Don't stand there hating me, Joe
Shout at me, strike me, but say you don't hate me, Joe
