(Operator, what number are you

calling from...area code...I'm

sorry but that number doesn't answer...will you please try your number again, again again)

Away in the corner

I always know it's there

If ever I'm lonely

I can call up anywhere

If I got a problem

There's a number

That I can ring

Whenever I'm hungry

It can get me anything

It brings me luck and

It brings me permanent danger

Pick it up and

I hear the voice of a stranger

(Stranger)

Who's calling, who's calling

Who's calling, who's calling

(Calling)

You know you're never there

So don't bother givin' your number

I'll see you anyway

And we'll talk about it

And talk about it and talk

How are you?

I feel fine

Find your number

I've got to try

Some strangers exchange lines

Keeps us talking

Through the night

It brings us luck and

It brings us permanent danger

(Danger)

Pick it up and hear

Your voice or a stranger's

Who's calling 8x
