Band Long Distance Operator Lyrics

Long Distance Operator lyrics
Songwriters: Dylan, Bob;

Long-distance operator
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
Everybody wants to make a long-distance call
But you know they're just gonna have to wait
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/band-lyrics/long-distance-operator-lyrics.html)

If the call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it ride
If the call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it ride
This phone booth's on fire
It's getting hot inside

Everybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher
Everybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher
Long-distance operator
I believe I'm stranglin' in this telephone wire
