The Introvert Song - Peter Mayer

People bug me when they interrupt me with calls

And unannounced visits

And on top of that when they chat about nothing at all

And I ask what is it?

I do have a lot to do

Can you return at two?

I will not be here by then

Just leave what you need me for

On a note on my door

So I can ignore it my friend

You may think it maddening when you ring my answering machine

And I m right there listening

But I d like to hire my own secretary who’s mean

Someone who says things like

Mr. Mayer can t be reached

He is not in, you see

He s in a meeting till ten

I suppose I could take your name

Who are you anyway?

Please never call here again

If I see you before you see me in the hall

Then while you re not looking

I ll find the nearest bathroom and hide in the stall

Till I think the coast is clear

Then I will take a peak

And, if you re gone, I ll sneak

Back to my private abode

There in my world of one

I have a lot more fun

Because people bug me you know

I do have a lot to do

Can you return at two?

I will not be here by then

Just leave what you need me for

On a note on my door

So I can ignore it my friend

People bug me when they interrupt me with calls

And unannounced visits

And on top of that when they chat about nothing at all

And I ask what is it?
