Calexico Tulsa Telephone Book Lyrics

Tulsa Telephone Book Lyrics

Have you read any good telephone books lately?
If you ain't, let me recommend
one
I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times
If
you don't know any last names, it ain't much fun

Readin' that Tulsa
Telephone Book
Can drive a man insane
Especially if that girl you're
lookin' for
Has no last name
I've got to find her and tell her
That I
don't want our love to end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa Telephone Book
again

I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything going
She lived in
Tulsa and didn't have anyting on
She said "My name's Juanita"
I
said "My name's J.B."
I awoke the very next morning, and she was
gone

All the Tulsa operators know my voice know
They've got to know
just how long I've been alone
If you meet a girl named Juanita with some
ribbons in her hair
Could you tell her that she's wanted on the
phone?

Readin' that Tulsa Telephone Book
Can drive a guy
insane
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for
Has no last
name
I've got to find her and tell her
That I don't want our love to
end
So I'm readin' that Tulsa Telephone Book again
So I'm readin' that
Tulsa Telephone Book again
