Long Distance Operator Songtext
von Bob Dylan & The Band

Long-distance operator
Place this call, it′s not for fun
Long-distance operator
Please, place this call, you know it's not for fun
I gotta get a message to my baby
You know, she′s not just anyone


There are thousands in the phone booth
Thousands at the gate
There are thousands in the phone booth
Thousands at the gate
Ev'rybody wants to make a long-distance call
But you know they're just gonna have to wait

Ev′rybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher
Ev′rybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher

Long-distance operator
I believe I'm stranglin′ in this telephone wire
