Long-Distance Operator lyrics

Long-distance operator
Place this call, it s not for fun
Long-distance operator
Please, place this call, you know it s not for fun
I gotta give 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.

If a call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it rise
If a call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it rise
This phone booth s on fire
It s getting hot inside.

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.
