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
|
|
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
|
I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
