I know you can be found sitting there by the phone
     F                            C
But they won't fix your bug; you might as well go home. 
         Dm7  G7                C
Don't Be Dumb, help will never come.

If you're working late because of what they said.
Please, just go on home; you're better off in bed.
Don't Be Dumb, help will never come.

Baby, it just isn't worth the stress.

You can keep on calling; you can talk to them every day,
But it won't really help you; you know what they're gonna say.
Don't Be Dumb, help will never come.

Don't even waste your dime;
It really isn't ever worth your time.

Just punch up the program and put some new code in,
You'll have it fixed in no time and can go home with a grin.
Don't Be Dumb, help will never come.

Don't wait for ALS,
Baby, it just isn't worth the stress.

Don't Be Dumb, help will never come.
Don't Be Dumb, help will never come.
Don't wait for ALS,
Baby, it just isn't worth the stress.
