This 1984 song humorously dramatizes obscene phone calls, a form of harassment that occasionally occurred in the years before caller I.D. technology was widespread. The song could be seen as a followup to Stevens' hit “The Streak,” as it deals with a salacious behavior that was in vogue at the time...
Well, there once was a feller named Willard McVane
And he only had just one thought on his brain
Every evening about midnight he'd slip off alone
And call the same lady on a pay telephone
It's me again, Margaret
Hello, is this Margaret?
You don't know me, Margaret, but I know you
Well, this upset the lady and it gave her the blues
So she called up the police, said What shall I do?
The chief of detectives came round to her home
And eavesdropped upon them on her upstairs phone
It's me again, Margaret
Hello, is this Margaret?
Margaret, I know it's you, Margaret
Are you naked?
Well, they called up Ma Bell and they traced him on down
To a funky old phone booth on the outskirts of town
It was there that the vice squad with their field glasses read
The lips of that amorous man as he said
It's me again, Margaret
Hello? Is this, is this Margaret?
I know it's you, Margaret
I bet you can't guess what I'm doing
Well, they cuffed him and dragged him to the station downtown
And they allowed him one phone call 'fore the jailer came round
He wet his chapped lips and he cleared his young throat
Then he dialed the telephone and softly he spoke
'It's me again, Margaret
They got me, Margaret
You ain't going to miss me, Margaret, I know that
But I'll miss you
And when I get out, Margaret
I'm going to come over there with an egg beater
And a live chicken, and some peach preserves!
We'll have a good old time, Margaret!
