I wrote the original version to this about 10 years ago and then returned to it with about three or four revisions. The most recent was at the end of 2014.
I'm wondering if I need more images. More show than tell. I am also curious to know if anyone outside of the US or perhaps Canada would find a disconnect in the subject matter. Granted at heart I am anything but politically correct, so if it is offensive by all means, fire away! Lol But keep in mind the approach was meant to be comical. I envision this as a country tune but if you think otherwise let me know.
Constructive comments, suggestions or any other thoughts that can help to improve this are welcome.
Customer Service
(Verse 1)
On hold for an hour
Patience wearin' thin
Then a voice from out of nowhere
Said his name was Jin
But, it was hard to understand
What it was Jin said
And he put me back on hold
Then the line went dead
(Chorus)
Well, that's customer service
Let's give em' a hand
Corporations have downsized
The jobs gone from the land
They're tryin' to save money
That's what it's all about
Calling 1-800
Makes me wanna shout
(Verse 2)
The second phone attempt
Left me in a daze
Got bounced around from here to there
Spinnin' in a maze
When I finally got someone
I was told to go
Online to find the answer
No one seemed to know
(Chorus)
Well, that's customer service
Let's give em' a hand
Corporations have downsized
The jobs gone from the land
They're tryin' to save money
That's what it's all about
Calling 1-800
Makes me wanna shout
(Bridge)
To speak to a 'live' person
Might leave ya' cursin'
Thousands of miles away
In Manilla or Bombay
(Chorus)
Well, that's customer service
Let's give em' a hand
Corporations have downsized
The jobs gone from the land
They're tryin' to save money
That's what it's all about
Calling 1-800
You might wanna shout
