Hello Operator (Classic 12" Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, they taught me how to think Now I don't know how to use a telephone I can't talk to my baby Don't know if I can even get along [Chorus] Said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" (Who I am) [Verse 2] Yesterday at the market I couldn't tell the butter from the beans I thought the meat werе potatoes The fish werе tomatoes and the cashier was my mother [Chorus] I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" [Bridge] Yesterday in traffic I drove when the light burned red I drove into a policeman And bumped him 'til I thought he was dead I said "Boom boom, your honor Won't you let me speak my mind?" I said "Boom boom, operator I'm the one who lost my mind" [Instrumental] [Bridge] Yesterday in traffic I drove when the light burned red I drove into a policeman And bumped him 'til I thought he was dead I said "Boom boom, your honor Won't you let me speak my mind?" I said "Boom boom, operator I'm the one who lost my mind" [Verse 3] Now they're taking me away And they've thrown away my set of keys And I got no telephone They won't let me speak my piece [Chorus] I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am" I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police... I can't even remember who I am"
