Your rating:
Quiet! Martin loved Susie, they had it made They'd been the best of friends since the 2nd grade They grew up and went to college in different states But promised that they'd get married if they never found mates Well the years pass by, and what do you know? They saw each other after college at an Atmosphere show They dated and had fun being back together Susie came over for Christmas and gave Martin a sweater They decided there and then they were mean to be So one night Martin got down on his right knee But Susie said "one second!" as her cell phone rang It was a college ex-boyfriend Philip Teng "I want you back," the voice said with much veracity Susie said, "I do too!" with much alacrity So Martin sat dejected, rejected and alone If only Susie had turned off her cell phone CHORUS: Turn your cell phone off, turn your cell phone off Turn your cell phone off, turn your cell phone off Turn your cell phone off, turn your cell phone off Turn your cell phone off, turn your cell phone off Phillip's father Daryl Teng, was afraid to fly But he packed his bags and kissed his son goodbye He got on the airplane at Ohara airport On his way to Phoenix to testify in court As his flight took off, he thought about his family And his Boston cousin David who just turned 53 He took out his Blackberry wrote a birthday email Dangerous like drive-through ATM Braille See when airplanes take off put your gadgets away They mess up communication and lead to disarray (hey) As the plane crashed down over Wilcox Nebraska Daryl felt like Will Rogers leaving Barrow Alaska It interfered with navigation without any hesitation Causing tragic interference, and general devastation A grim situation, it all seemed very scary This never would have happened if Phil turned off his Blackberry CHORUS: Turn your blackberry off, turn your blackberry off Turn your blackberry off, turn your blackberry off Turn your blackberry off, turn your blackberry off Turn your blackberry off, turn your blackberry off David Williams had a heart attack, eating on a chocolate snack Died in Aisle Four in fact, falling right onto to his back Years of eating Twinkies had taken their toll (uh huh) So God came down and claimed his Epicurean soul His brother got his comics, his friend got his computer The Salvation Army got his POG's and Razor Scooter As for his wife Lorraine, she grieved the whole year through She found a younger lover Martin who was lonely too The funeral was grim as they lowered David's corpse His grade school friends showed up and gave their support It went according to plan until the unexpected There was a ringing from the ground the mortician had neglected Mr. Williams was connected posthumously To the land of electronics for all eternity The bills could have been ridiculous they dug up David quick We all know he never went anywhere without his Sidekick (uh huh) CHORUS: Turn your Sidekick off, turn your Sidekick off Turn your cell phone off, turn your cell phone off Turn your blackberry off, turn your blackberry off You're not that important, you're not that important Quiet!
