Electrician's tape has many uses
including the repair of 78 rpm records
that you've managed to smash against the bar
whilst paying for your beer
It may not be the most technically correct way
but it does work if the break is clean
as will now be demonstrated
with Miss Jean Merrill & Orchestra's
1941 rendition of
'Miss Johnson Phoned Again today'
[Crackling] Calling a number, calling a number
Yes sir, oh yes sir!
Miss Johnson phoned today sir
Miss Johnson phoned Monday, Tuesday...
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and by the way sir...
I sent your top coat to the tailor sir
and mailed the letters that you wrote
and the messages you had, I've written on your pad
Including the customary note...
Miss Johnson phoned again today
I told her what you said to say
That you were not about
and that you were still out of town
Miss Johnson phoned again today
Too bad, I said he's still away!
but not to get upset
or think that you had let her down
but today for the very first time
she really didn't seem to mind
but requested that you burned
or kindly returned
any letters of hers that you might find
She said that she was feeling grand
and hopes that you will understand
she leaves tomorrow at noon
upon her honeymoon
and if I saw you would I say...
Miss Johnson phoned again today
for the very last time
[Dramatic music]
Will I call her back sir?
She's gone I'm afraid
One moment sir
I'll try the maid
Will someone answer?
Can't you hear?
Operator please don't let me down
Miss Johnson please...
My mind is getting hazy
Operator please, the boss is crazy
Miss Johnson isn't at home sir
There's no one on the line
And just today
for the very first time
she really didn't seem to mind
but request that you burned
or kindly returned
any letters of hers that you might find
She said that she was feeling grand
she leaves this afternoon
I'm sorry sir,
upon her honeymoon
and if i saw you
would I say
[dramatic horn section]
Miss Johnson phoned again today
for the very last time
