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
Ev´rybody wants to make a long-distance call
But you know they´re just gonna have to wait

Ev´rybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher
Ev´rybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher
