Telephone Man Songtext

von Meri Wilson

I went to my apartment on a Monday at one
A-singin' do lolly, lolly, shicky bum, shicky bum
Started movin', in it on a Tuesday at two
A-singin' do lolly, lolly, shicky do, shicky do
Wednesday at three I called the phone company, singin'
Hey, baby, put a phone in for me
Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door, singin'

Hey, baby, I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling
Because, a hey, baby, I'm your telephone man

Can you believe that
And then he says

Now, when other fellas call ya
Tell 'em how it all began

Well, can you imagine

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was a-talking I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin', hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can
Right
Ha, ha, ha, so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was
I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin', hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly
Just-a doin' my thing

Ha, ha...
I've never done anything like this before
Ha, ha, aaaaaaah
