[00:17.13]”Hi, operator.”
[00:18.09]”May I help you?”
[00:18.97]”Yeah, it’s me again. Did you get him on the line yet? . . . Oh, this is awful. I’ve been trying to get him all day. . . . No, it’s okay. I’ll wait.”
[00:31.65]Mr. Rockefeller, how are you?
[00:38.89]Mr. Rockefeller, having fun?
[00:46.03]Mr. Rockefeller I could use a few
[00:52.37]If you’d like to send a few down my way.
[01:00.56]Mr. Rockefeller, I get my magazines,
[01:06.85]I see you on the TV too, yeah.
[01:13.13]Mr. Rockefeller, they tell me, they tell me all about it,
[01:20.35]But they don’t tell me how are you.
[01:28.44]Sometimes I think I know you,
[01:31.20]Sometimes I think I don’t.
[01:34.86]Sometimes I think we’ll make it,
[01:38.47]Sometimes I think we won’t.
[01:41.11]Waiting on the wire,
[01:43.88]And I’m ragged to the bone.
[01:47.45]Mr. Rockefeller won’t you
[01:51.01]Please pick up the phone?
[01:58.33]The reason I’m calling is to say
[02:01.81]I’m not feeling so good.
[02:04.67]I’m all broken down.
[02:11.89]My family is nervous and my thoughts are blue.
[02:17.29]But I wanna know, I gotta know,
[02:20.89]I’m askin’ everybody, how are you?
[02:25.32]Please, won’t you answer me?
[02:28.03]Won’t you take the time?
[02:30.78]The next call’s got to be collect,
[02:33.55]’Cause this is my last dime.
[02:38.04]Waiting on the wire,
[02:40.70]And I’m ragged to the bone.
[02:43.50]Mr. Rockefeller, please pick up the phone.
[02:55.12]Mr. Rockefeller, how are you?
[03:01.48]Mr. Rockefeller, having fun?
[03:07.85]Mr. Rockefeller, how are you?
[03:14.12]Mr. Rockefeller, having fun?
[03:20.41]Mr. Rockefeller, please, Mr. Rockefeller.
