parody of "Call Me Irresponsible" by Frank Sinatra,
from the movie "Papa's Delicate Condition")
Call me Efrem Zimbalist,
Get me Bobby Kennedy,
Then call Dave Ben-Gurion, too.
Then tell Carol Baker I'm home, now;
Tell her Mastroianni sends love from Rome now.
Then get Hank Mancini
And tell him Fred Fellini is waiting;
Where the heck is the song?
Order Scotch and ice and then
Ring up Barbra Streisand and
Then set up a conference call
With Sammy Davis and Charles de Gaulle.
Call me Walter Cronkite
And tell him Nancy Dickerson said
That David Brinkley was wrong.
Then get Conrad Hilton in Bombay;
Tell him Tuesday night I want peaches flambe.
Call Chief Justice Warren
And tell him Sophie Loren is worried;
Is she married or not?
Then call Arthur Schlesinger;
No, no, send a messenger
With the saddest news of the bunch:
Tell Lady Bird I'll be late for lunch.
Dial up Liberace
And, while up, Joe Valachi
And tell him Lucky sends his regards.
Find out where Onassis' barge is;
Call him, ship-to-shore, and reverse the charges.
Locate Melvin Belli
And tell Mel One-Eye Felli was scratched
By Princess Margaret's rose.
Then call Lollabrigida,
This week she's in Wichita,
And then, when you reach Cary Grant,
Tell him I'd love to, but I just can't.

Allan Sherman (November 30, 1924 – November 20, 1973) was an American comedy writer and television producer who became famous as a song parodist in the early 1960s. Born in New York to a Jewish family, Sherman began his career as a comedy writer for theater and television. His debut album, *My Son, the Folk Singer* (1962), became the fastest-selling record album up to that time, thanks to the success of songs like "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", a parody of Ponchielli's famous *Dance of the Hours*. Sherman continued to release successful albums throughout the 1960s and 1970s, characterized by intelligent humor and catchy melodies. Among his most famous songs are also "The Ballad of Irving Berlin" and "A Bushel and a Peck". His music helped define American musical humor in the 1960s, influencing generations of artists.
