One Less Bell To Answer

That cord in the shower, you know the one when you are on vacation that seems to be in your way when you are taking a shower – well we have one too. We pulled it. It our case it just rang the same buzzer as our doorbell. 

The other day we went to friends' house in Perugia and they had bells in the bedroom too (though they just looked like a light switch, not a hanging cord). You might want to ring for something if you're sick is what they said. I wonder why this doesn’t seem popular in the US?

One Less Bell to Answer was a big hit for the 5th Dimension. The song was included on the group's 1970 debut album "Portrait".
