PLEASE DISTURB - Doug von Koss

[Larry Robinson]

PLEASE DISTURB
 
I hung out my “please disturb sign”
            but nobody did
 
It would have been fine with me
 
Nobody reads anymore
            it’s all this television
 
So I stayed on my side of the door
            nobody even knocked
 
It was a nice looking door
 
Then one morning the maid knocked
            She didn’t bother to read my special sign
 
I yelled, “Come in, oh God, please come in!”
            She said, “I’ll come back.”
 
Nobody reads anymore
