HEY OPERATOR - by Ray O'Bannon


Just got paid, got a new pair of shoes
Friday night and I'm ready to cruise
call up my baby, man I just can't wait
front row tickets and we can't be late
and then it happens, can't believe it's true
the phone keeps ringin' but I can't get through

CHORUS:
hey operator, bop shoo bop oooh
hey operator, bop shoo bop oooh
hey operator, can't you help me please
(bop shoo bop oooh)

hop in the car and I'm off in a flash
get half a mile, that's when I run out of gas
I find a phone booth and I feed it a dime
wrong number and it tells me the time
the night's half over, what am I gonna do
the phone keeps ringin' but I can't get through

(CHORUS)

bop shoo bop oooh
when I get home I find a note by the phone
said she got tired of waitin' home all alone
she tried to call but there was nobody in
said not to worry, won't be callin' again
just gotta tell her that my love is true
the phone keeps ringin' but I can't get through

(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
hey operator, can't you help me please
