[Chorus]
853-5937
Angela can't make it to the phone
If you care to leave your name and number
She'll give you a ring when she is home

[Verse 1]
Every time I called her I got the message
Listened to the voice coming down the line
I couldn't speak to a tape recording
I redialed it a number of times

[Chorus]
853-5937
Angela can't make it to the phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Please speak clearly after the tone
She'll give you a ring when she gets home

[Verse 2]
I rang her this morning so very early
Same old message came down the phone
I should go and see if her house is empty
Maybe she's poorly, perhaps she's not home

[Chorus]
853-5937
Angela can't make it to the phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Please speak clearly after the tone
She'll give you a ring when she gets home
[Bridge]
She's in Mill Hill, I'm in Bermondsey
It's the end of the earth on the northern line
Makes it so hard for me to see
The one that I love but can never find

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Called up a close friend who lives right by her
I got the message he was out too
I got suspicious, are they together?
I've got to find out that this isn't true, oh

[Outro]
853-5937
853-5937
