Lyrics
Well, there once was a feller named Willard McVane
And he only had just one thought on his brain
Every evening about midnight, he'd slip off alone
And call the same lady on a pay telephone
It's me again, Margaret
Hello, is this Margaret?
You don't know me, Margaret
But I know you
Well, this upset the lady and it gave her the blues
So she called up the police, said, "What shall I do?"
Well, the chief of detectives came around to her home
And eavesdropped upon them on her upstairs phone
It's me again, Margaret
Hello, is this Margaret?
Margaret, I know it's you, Margaret
Are you naked?
Well, they called up Ma Bell and they traced him on down
To a funky old phone booth on the outskirts of town
It was there that the vice squad with their field glasses read
The lips of that amorous man as he said
It's me again, Margaret
Hello? Is this, is this Margaret?
I know it's you, Margaret
I bet you can't guess what I'm doing
Well, they cuffed him and dragged him to the station downtown
And they allowed him one phone call 'fore the jailer came 'round
He wet his chapped lips, and he cleared his young throat
Then he dialed the telephone and softly he spoke
It's me again, Margaret
They got me, Margaret, oh
You ain't gon' miss me, Margaret, I know that
But I'll miss you
And when I get out, Margaret, I'm gon' come over there with an meat beater
And a live chicken, and some peach preserves
We'll have a good old time, Margaret!
