Hello Operator (Short Version)

One two three four

Well, they taught me how to think

But I don't know how to use a telephone

I can't talk to my baby

I don't know if I can get along

I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...

I can't even remember who I am"

Yesterday at the market

I couldn't tell the butter from the beans

I thought the meat were potatoes

The fish were tomatoes and the cashier was my mother

I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...

I can't even remember who I am"

Yesterday in traffic

I drove while the light turned red

Right into a policeman

And bumped him 'til I thought he lay 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"

Yeah, oh oh yeah

Now they're taking me away

They've thrown away my set of keys

I ain't got no telephone

They won't let me speak my piece

I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...

Can't even remember who I am"

I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...

Can't even remember who I am"
