Lyrics

[00:19.62] Long-distance operator
[00:25.73] Place this call, it's not for fun
[00:33.74] Long-distance operator
[00:38.51] Please, place this call, you know it's not for fun
[00:47.57] I gotta get a message to my baby
[00:52.31] You know, she's not just anyone
[00:56.25]
[01:01.26] There are thousands in the phone booth
[01:06.45] Thousands at the gate
[01:14.93] There are thousands in the phone booth
[01:20.35] Thousands at the gate
[01:28.96] Everybody wants to make a long-distance call
[01:33.26] But you know they're just gonna have to wait
[01:37.74] ~~solo~~
[02:23.62] If the call comes from Louisiana
[02:29.13] Please, let it ride
[02:37.44] If the call comes from Louisiana
[02:42.25] Please, let it ride
[02:52.44] This phone booth's on fire
[02:56.82] It's getting hot inside
[02:58.85]
[03:04.74] Everybody wants to be my friend
[03:09.96] But nobody wants to get higher
[03:19.50] Long-distance operator
[03:22.82] I believe I'm stranglin' in this telephone wire
[03:27.48] ~~solo~~
