Hold On

Thank you for calling our tollfree line
we value your call so much it won’t cost a dime
but if you’re calling from a mobile we charge a standard fare
and we take so long to answer let’s hope you’re a millionaire

We know you found this number on our company’s website
it was only four digits so it was easy to get right
but for no apparent reason our number has just changed
so we’ll transfer your call right now so you can start again

Hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on

Thank you for calling, welcome to this menu
It’s time to press more buttons before we put you through
Please select one of the options which applies to your call
Don’t be surprised if what you want’s not listed at all

It might have been misleading calling this a ‘helpline’
we’re sorry all operators are busy at this time
If we’d just employ more people then that should do the trick
But then you wouldn’t hear our irritating music

Hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on

Thank you for calling, we appreciate you
We appreciate you so much that you’re 10th in the queue
Your hand is getting tired holding the phone in place
have you thought of super gluing it straight on to your face?

There’s no indication that you’re almost there
We promise to pick up before the end of the year
We cannot guarantee the service will be supreme
‘cause we might put you through to the most
incompetent person on our team, so

Hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on,
keep holding on
