Place this call, it’s not for fun

Long-distance operator

Please, place this call, you know it’s not for fun

I gotta get a message to my baby

You know, she’s not just anyone

There are thousands in the phone booth

Thousands at the gate

There are thousands in the phone booth

Thousands at the gate

Ev’rybody wants to make a long-distance call

But you know they’re just gonna have to wait

Ev’rybody wants to be my friend

But nobody wants to get higher

Ev’rybody wants to be my friend

But nobody wants to get higher

Long-distance operator

I believe I’m stranglin’ on this telephone wire
