Operator, operator
I'm so glad that you rang my phone
Operator, operator
I'm so glad that you found me homeI can hear my long gone lover
I've waited such a long, long time
So, please, operator
Put him on the lineI want him on the line
I wanna talk to that
Long gone lover of mineOperator, operator
There is static in my line
Did he say that love was true
Did he say that his love was mine
Did he say he was coming home
Did he say where he had been
I can't gear a word that he's saying
If you keep butting inYou keep butting in
I wanna know if he's
Coming on home againIt shouldn't take this much time
To clear my line, to ease my mindOh, operator, please, get straight
It's unfair to make me wait any longer
My curiousity is stronger
Don't you know that it's wrong
Oh, so, wrongOperator, operator
This is very, very strange
What is the holdup, please
Doesn't he have the change
Oh, please, operator
If he doesn't have another dime
Reverse the charge to me
But put him on the lineI want him on the line
I wanna talk to that
Long gone lover of mineI didn't expect him
Please connect him right away
I beg of you to put him through
Without delay
