Hello, This Is Joannie (The Telephone Answering Machine Song) -

Hello, this is Joannie

I’m sorry that I’m not home

But if you leave me

Your name and number

I promise soon as I get in I’ll phone

Joannie came over to my house last night

I drank a little too much red

And we got into a fight

She said I’m leavin'

And I let her go alone

I felt so damn bad this morning

I reached right for the phone

And called her right away

To beg her to forgive

The phone rang once

The phone rang twice

And then I heard her say

Hello, this is Joannie

I’m sorry that I’m not home

But if you leave me

Your name and number

I promise soon as I get in I’ll phone

Joannie I’m sorry and I’m feelin' oh so small

That was the message that I left

And I waited for her call

I waited with a sinkin'

Feelin' in my heart

Not knowin' if she’d forgive me

Was tearin' me apart

I couldn’t go on this way

I had to call again

The phone rang once

The phone rang twice

And then I heard her say

Hello, this is Joannie

I’m sorry that I’m not home

But if you leave me

Your name and number

I promise soon as I get in I’ll phone

My phone rang and my heart sang

My baby’s called at last

Instead it was a friend who said

That Joannie’s car had crashed

I never should’ve let her drive home

Angry from my place

I’d never hold her again

And kiss that funny face

But still there was a way

To hear her voice again

The phone rang once

The phone rang twice

And then I heard her say

Hello, this is Joannie

I’m sorry that I’m not home

(I'm so sorry Joannie)

But if you leave me

Your name and number

I promise soon as I get in I’ll phone

(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Hello, this is Joannie

(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I’m sorry that I’m not home

But if you leave me

Your name and number

(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I promise soon as I get in I’ll phone
