Picture-phone |
| It’s a reckless world |
| That lets itself be guided by its tools |
| But what our eyes can see we believe |
| The truth is not for fools |
| Is there nothing between us but plastic and wire |
| Will some modern invention prove you a liar |
| All the time you were saying this is it |
| It was that |
| And you didn’t get that scratch from the cat |
| I’ll be stripped to the skin |
| You’ll be stripped to the bone |
| And we’ll all say no to the picture-phone |
| It was so easy to cheat on a blind line |
| With an alibi and your image intact |
| Whatever the number — |
| Whatever the crime — |
| Not only the famous will have to resign |
| And you have come to depend |
| On your right to pretend you’re alone |
| Would the star of the screen |
| Ever wish to be seen |
| Red-eyed and dying through the morning call |
| And the president’s friends |
| Would they live for long |
| If they saw down the wire what really goes on |
| When you’re home to relax |
| Come the facial attacks |
| And the breathers in masks — oh no! |
| Is she the girl of your dreams |
| With her curlers and creams |
| Another fantasy’s blown |
| And we’ll all say no on the picture-phone |
