Lookin' for my wallet and my car keys
Well, they can't have gone too far
As soon as I find my glasses
I'm sure I'll see just where they are

Supposed to meet someone
For lunch today
I just can't remember where
Or who it is I am meeting
It's in my organizer somewhere

I think I left it on the counter
Or maybe outside in the car
Last time I remember driving
Was to that memory enhancement seminar

What's that far-off distant ringing
In that strangely familiar tone
Must be the person I am meeting
Calling on my brand new cordless phone

I think I left it under the covers
Or maybe outside on the lawn
Now I've got just one more ring to go
Before my phone machine goes on

"Hi, this is Chuck
And your call means a lot to me
Leave a message at the tone
And I will do my best to remember
To call you back when I get home"
(beep) "Chuck, this is Carol
And I am trying not to cry
But I've been waiting here for over an hour
I thought you loved me, this is good-bye!"

Well the voice it sounds familiar
And the name it rings a bell and the name it rings a bell
Let's see now where was I
... Oh,well

Lookin' for my wallet and my car keys
Well, they can't have gone too far
As soon as I find my glasses
I'm sure I'll see just where they are
