I'm looking for the lyrics to Bill Steele's song about a long-winded guy in a telephone booth who keeps several other people from doing things. Both the tune and the punchline are "I never will marry."

The song is not on either his long-ago LPs (has he recorded anything since then?), and I haven't found it online.

Any pointers or other help will be greatly appreciated.

I remember the song you're talking about. Late in the song, some of the lines are, as I recall

And now they are married,
with children that fly,
and it's all on account of
that long-winded guy!

(This comes about because one of the people waiting to use the telephone booth was Clark Kent.)

I have two Bill Steele albums. I think the first is titled "Garbage! and other garbage", and the later one, I *think*, is titled "Chocolate Chip Cookies". I will try to remember to check these when I get home tonight and see if either of them has this song.

Don

That's the one. As I noted in my first post, it's not on either of those LPs. I looked before I posted the query.
