Say It Ain't So Joe

Gary Brooker

Switchboard Susan won't give me a line

I need a doctor get me 999

The first time I picked up my telephone

I fell in love with your ringing tone



I'm a long distance romancer

And I keep on trying until I get an answer

Give me! Give me! One more chance

You're a great, little operator



Switchboard Susan let me off the hook

I've been this way since you just gave me a look

Switchboard Susan girl you're all the rage

Come on woman now let's get engaged



I'm a long distance romancer

And I keep on trying until I get an answer

Give me! Give me! One more chance

You're a great, little operator



Now when I look at you girl I get an extension

And I don't mean on Alexander Graham Bell's invention

Switchboard Susan can we be friends

After six and at weekends



I'm a long distance romancer

And I keep on trying until I get an answer

Give me! Give me! One more chance

You're a great, little operator
