To the girl in the office
With the very loud voice.
I'm getting to know you
Don't have much choice.
You speak very clearly
So who could ask more?
They can even hear you
Up on the next floor.
You could shout out the window;
That might work you know.
But there's always the phone
You could try just talking; give it a go!
I picture the people
The other end
The people whose ears
You thoroughly bend.
I know all your business
Better than mine.
Just talk in your phone
Don't shout all the time.
You're not speaking to us
We don't need to hear
If you can't talk more quietly
Then button it dear.
