Tulsa Telephone Book |
Have you read any good telephone books lately? |
If you ain’t then let me recommend one |
I’ve already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times |
If you don’t know any last names it ain’t much fun |
Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane |
Especially if that girl you’re lookin' for has no last name |
I gotta find her and tell her, I don’t want our love to end |
So I’m readin' that Tulsa telephone book again |
Well, I was in Tulsa and didn’t have anything goin' |
She lived in Tulsa and didn’t have anything on |
She said, «My name is Shirley,» and I said, «My name is T.» |
I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone |
All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now |
And they gotta know how long I’ve been alone |
If you meet a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair |
Would you tell her that she’s wanted on the phone |
I’m readin' that Tulsa telephone book again |
