Mr Telephone Lyrics

Mr Telephone lyrics

CHORUS

Mr Telephone man

There’s somethin’ wrong with my line

When I dial my baby’s number

I get a click every time

Mr Telephone man

There’s somethin’ wrong with my line

When I dial my baby’s number

I get a click every time



When I dial 611 carry service

She said hello may I help you please

Told her somethin’ must be wrong with my phone

Cuz my baby wouldn’t hang up on me



CHORUS



He let the phone ring twenty times before he answered

Let me tell you what happened then

A minute later I got the operator

Sayin’ please hang up and place your call again, baby



CHORUS



Some strange woman’s on the telephone (my telephone)

Keeps tellin’ me my baby he ain’t home (that he’s not
home)

He ain’t got no party line

Situation’s blown my mind

Oh, I just can’t take this anymore



~spoken~

Please Operator

See what you can do

I dialed the right number

But I still couldn’t get through

Would you just check the wire

Just one more time if you can

I’m pretty sure his phone ain’t bein’ answered by no
woman



CHORUS



Must be a bad connection to my love and affection

Oh baby, I just can’t take this no more

This situation’s blown my mind

Can’t get my baby on the line



CHORUS (repeat)



I tried dialing information

Can’t get no cooperation

System on the phone tellin’ me my baby ain’t home

Aw baby, I just can’t take in anymore

Help me out please Mr Telephone man

Help me out please Mr Telephone man
