Hi, this is a dirty phone call 
Larry and I will be in the country, so we'll miss any birthday celebration
Anyway, you're thirty-five
Who wants to celebrate being that old? 
Well, I only hope I look as good as you when I'm your age

Hi Bob, it's Peter
Get those girls outta your bed and pick up the phone, will ya? 
God, I'm so envious I can't even talk 
Call me

Hi, Bobby, it's Amy
I just called to say that if I'm late for the surprise birthday party tonight 
Please, tell Paul I'm running
Oh, wait, you're not s'posed to know that there's
Judy? Judy? Oh goodness, I'm afraid I've dialed a wrong number
Sorry, just ignore this phone call
Oh, God

Hi, this is Bob
Yes, today is my birthday
And yes, you may leave a message about how happy you are that I'm turning thirty-five
And whatever you're calling about, the answer is yes

Bobby

Then again, how many times do you get to be thirty-five? Eleven?
