The Band - Long Distance Operator lyrics
[The Band - Long Distance Operator lyrics]
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
If a call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it ride
If a call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it ride
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
