I was hangin' out in Mexico

I had a beachfront bungalow

I know I should have gone home

But I was doin' that Caribbean thing

I was listenin' to a Spanish guitar

Drinkin' margaritas under the stars

With a pretty senorita

When the telephone started to ring

Guess who

Chorus:

Hello, honey, I was just about to

Hello, baby, I was gettin' ready

Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no

Hello, if you give me just a minute

Hello, don't you hang up til I'm finished

Hello, you're the only one I've ever, you know

Hello

Well, there was silence at the end of the line

I thought I'd give her till a quarter of nine

I forgot to call her back

And the party was a-rollin' at ten

See, I was workin' on tequila and lime

I guess I never even noticed the time

I was dancin' the Iguana

When the phone started ringin' again

And you know who

Repeat Chorus Twice

Hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello
