| I put a nickel in the telephone, dialled my baby’s number
|
| Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
|
| Each time I tried I got a busy tone
|
| Not my baby’s number
|
| Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
|
| Called his uncle in Jamaica
|
| Left a message with the baker
|
| Even checked the number in the telephone book
|
| Got so awfully, awfully worried
|
| To my baby’s house I hurried
|
| When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook
|
| And as I ^walked up to my baby — then
|
| I got my baby’s number
|
| He was busy in the parlour doing fine
|
| Busy kissing someone else
|
| While I was keeping busy
|
| Getting a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line^^
|
| …busy line
|
| Just brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
|
| Just biz-biz-biz-biz busy line
|
| Biz-biz busy line
|
| I put my nickel in the telephone
|
| Dialled my baby’s number
|
| Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, … line
|
| Each time I tried I got a busy tone
|
| Not my baby’s number
|
| Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
|
| In Jamaica, left a message with the baker
|
| Even checked his number in the telephone book
|
| Got so awfully, awfully worried
|
| To my baby’s house I hurried
|
| When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook, hook, hook |
