Call ’Em Up

We've been losing games for much too long
And now Blez asks me to name this season’s sad theme song
I'm gonna work the phones ‘til my dying breath
I'm gonna call ’em up til there’s no ’Cats left

Oooh ooh call ’em up, call ’em up, call ’em up
Oooh ooh call ’em up, call ’em up, call ’em up

People call me villain oh its such a shame
Maybe it’s my clothes must be to blame
I don't even care if you see my legs
Don't wanna wear seersucker like all the rest

Oooh ooh call ’em up, call ’em up, call ’em up
Oooh ooh call ’em up, call ’em up, call ’em up

Call ’em up
Call ’em up
Call ’em up
Call ’em up
Call ’em up

(Crosby Break)

Call ’em up, you can keep Your Black Muslim Fish Burgers
Call ’em up, and your effin’ Berkeley hippies
Call ’em up, you can stick your filthy bloggers
Call ’em up, and your low-pay turnstiles

And everybody's shutting A’s down
I said everybody's shutting A’s down yeah
