the telephone, the telephone
i have an idea
women always have ideas
hello...
here is agamemnon
here is agamemnon
who? wrong connection
this is...
i am a moralist
an anti-militarist
i am against duels
i cannot stand seeing
a fly in rage
i cannot look at
a uniform or blood
that woman has seduced me
and now i am done for
darling, where shall i
hide you in a hurry?
here is agamemnon
here is agamemnon
i am coming
directly from the trenches
and look forward
to a solemn luncheon
oh, my nerves
i´m losing my find
this damned telephone
spoils my favorite position
and no i can start
writing poetry again
