Mrs. Wha-cha-ma-call-it

"Mrs. Wha-cha-ma-call-it" is Track 13 of the album Arthur's Really Rockin' Music Mix. The song is a psychedelic rock anthem performed by D.W. Read about the very first time that she took a telephone message. It also includes a spoken part from Mrs. Read. Unlike a number of other tracks on the album, though the song tells a story, it does not seem to be based on any specific events from the show.

Lyrics

 * [D.W.]


 * I forgot to tell you an important phone call
 * Came while you were taking a shower


 * I don't write but I took a message
 * And remembered it after three whole hours!


 * Mrs. Wha-cha-ma-call-it called and said you have to meet her somewhere
 * She said everything will be ruined if you're late
 * Hurry on over there!


 * It's my first phone message
 * You must be so proud of me
 * It's my first phone message
 * You must be so proud of me


 * She also said that her friend's kid's what's-it's-name?
 * Which is a girl or a boy?
 * Needs that thingy-ma-jiggy that you have
 * It's food, or shoes, or a toy


 * Mrs. Wha-cha-ma-call-it said if you can't call her back right away
 * Rush to that place on that street in some other town
 * Something about bales of hay?


 * It's my first phone message
 * You must be so proud of me
 * It's my first phone message
 * You must be so proud of me!


 * (instrumental break)


 * This is the very first time that I ever took a phone message alone
 * I'm so good at it that I may just spend all day here by your phone


 * (sound of phone ringing
 * I'll get it!)


 * [Mrs. Read]


 * (No, no, no, no, no. I'll get it.)
