Party Line

VERSE

Operator got a party line

Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine

Gotta stay in touch, I don't want to lose her

She's really too much, I gotta talk to her

VERSE II

It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...

G.T.E. is messin' up my plans

Lines get crossed everytime I call her

I can't get through at all

CHORUS

I try to get in touch with you

Party Line

No luck no matter what I do

Party Line

VERSE III

Remember Chuck Berry on the radio

say "Help me operator, get the one I know"

I'm holdin' that line, reachin' my extension

I'm runnin' out of dimes so won't you pay attention

VERSE IV

In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones

I tell her that I love her but we're not alone

Who's that voice diggin' all the gossip

I can't get through at all

( CHORUS )

BRIDGE

Hang up and try it again...

( VERSE II - CHORUS - OUTRO )
