Call Up Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

No one ever lived a thousand years 

Not like things we do or say 

Some of those who really changed this world 

We would welcome back today 

They could really light the way 

So call up Otis 

Call up Marvin 

Call for Buddy 

Bring them on 

Call for Ludwig 

And for Johann 

We need Lennon 

We mean John 

Words live longer than a thousand years 

Listen hard to what they say 

Single voices that would change this world 

We would welcome back today 

They would really light the way 

So call up Jimi 

Let's have Stevie 

Look for Miles 

To take the floor 

Call for Billie 

Yell for Ella 

Call up Elvis 

We'll need more 

So call up Einstein 

Bring back Darwin 

Call for Newton 

And Luther King 

We need Gandhi 

Call Da Vinci 

Call for Jesus 

And ask Him in 

If we live another thousand years 

Who could help along the way? 

Some of those who came and changed this world 

We would welcome back today 

They would really light the way 

So call up Garbo 

Let's have Mansfield 

Maybe Monroe 

No, she's for sure 

Call Sinatra 

Come on Crosby 

Is that Bogie 

At the door? 

Bring on Bergman 

How about Dietrich? 

Let's have James Dean 

Leave the car 

Call Picasso 

We need Monet 

Let's have Rembrandt 

And Renoir 

Call up Groucho 

Come on Gable 

Bring on Hitchcock 

And let's get wilde 

Come on Gershwin 

Let's call Porter 

Maybe Duke 

Could show some style 

Call up Shakespeare 

Bring on Byron 

We need Shelley 

And maybe Keats 

Come on Wordsworth 

Bring on Browning 

Robert Burns
