Telephone Boy

Lolly

hum ha hum hum, hum ha hum ha hum ha hum ha (etc)

oh pick up the phone, pick up the phone

i'm waiting, argh, hello, pick up the phone



i ring and ring but can't get through

what's a girl supposed to do

my telephone boy

i dial and dial but get that tone

i wish that he'd get off the phone

my telephone boy



(*)

so i call the operator - he says to try him later

my telephone boy

i think that it's such an outrage

that he is always engaged

my telephone boy



(chorus)

telephone boy, telephone boy, telephone boy

he's my telephone boy

la la la la la la (repeat x4)



so i try your mobile phone

the message says try you at home

my telephone boy

and when i finally get through

i get a machine instead of you

my telephone boy



(repeat *)



he tells me to call but it's always engaged

i've tried and i've tried and i still can't get through

oh get off the phone

i'm waiting

get off the phone, get off the phone



(repeat chorus to fade)
