Operator

Operator, can you help me?

Help me if you please

Give me the right area code

And the number that

I needMy rider left upon the

Midnight Flyer

Singing like a summer breeze

I think she's somewhere down south

Down about

Baton Rouge

But I just can't remember no number

A number I can use, directory don't have it

Central done forgot it

Got to find a number to use

Trying to check out her number

Trying to run down her line

Operator said that's priviledged information

And it ain't no business of mine

It's flooding down in

Texas, the poles are down in

UtahGot to find a private line

She could be hanging round a steel mill

Working in a house of blue light

Riding a getaway bus out of

PortlandTalking to the night

I don't know where she's going

I don't care where she's been

Long as she's been doin' it right

Long as she's been doin' it right
