In case you wanna ask me for a date now
Any day, any time
For your answer, you don’t have to wait now
Let me give you mine
I’ll be available every day
I’ll be available whenever you say
When every ship in the sea has become unsailable
You can call me, and I’ll be available
You can date every girl in town now
Every girl you see, yeah
I don’t mind, I’m the patient kind
And when you get around to me, I’ll be available
When you’re all alone, I’m available
Just ring my phone, when you want a love that’s unfailable
You can call on me, and I’ll be available
I don’t care if you neglect me butt just as long as I have my turn
And whatever I’m doing when you call me
I’ll have to drop it, I’ll have to stop it
You can write every girl in the whole wide world
Sweet sweet love letters
But if they hurt your pride and you decide
You can’t do no better, I’ll be available
Baby, that’s no lie, I’m available
I’m your old standby
When the U.S. mail is no longer mailable
You can call on me, and I’ll be available
Well, when the U.S. mail is no longer mailable
You can call on me, and I’ll be available
Whenever they leave you behind (I’ll be available)
Whenever you make up your mind (I’ll be available)
When everyone else puts you down (I’ll be available)
Whenever you want me around (I’ll be available)
Available (I’ll be available)
Be available (I’ll be available)
Available (I’ll be available)
Make up your mind (I’ll be available)
(I’ll be available)
Any day, any time
For your answer, you don’t have to wait now
Let me give you mine
I’ll be available every day
I’ll be available whenever you say
When every ship in the sea has become unsailable
You can call me, and I’ll be available
You can date every girl in town now
Every girl you see, yeah
