Party Line

Operator got a party line
Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine
Gotta stay in touch, I don’t want to lose her
She’s really too much, I gotta talk to her
VERSE II
It’s a mighty long way to Louisiana…
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can’t get through at all
I try to get in touch with you
Party Line
No luck no matter what I do
Party Line
VERSE III
Remember Chuck Berry on the radio
Say «Help me operator, get the one I know»
I’m holdin' that line, reachin' my extension
I’m runnin' out of dimes so won’t you pay attention
VERSE IV
In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones
I tell her that I love her but we’re not alone
Who’s that voice diggin' all the gossip
I can’t get through at all
BRIDGE
Hang up and try it again…
(VERSE II — CHORUS — OUTRO)
