about

Vicki Lawrence - "Who Do I Call When I Need You" - Track 9 from 1974's "Ships in the Night" LP.

lyrics

Last Christmas morning
I opened my presents all alone
And last Thanksgiving
Where could I go but my married sister's home?
Well, this morning
I decided that you've had me way too long
I need a man who's free to be here
When everything's going wrong

Chorus:
'Cause you see the plumber comes when the faucet drips
I call in the painter when the woodwork chips
The Yellow Pages always seem to help me through
But who do I call when I need you?

Every evening your children run
To kiss you at your door
You throw your arms around them
After leaving me alone and wanting more
In your life, I'm just the icing
On a many-layered cake
While I go hungry giving you much more than I can take

Repeat Chorus

The plumber comes when the faucet drips
I call in the painter when the woodwork chips
The Yellow Pages always seem to help me through
But who do I call when I need you?
