lyrics:
hello operator
can you give me number nine
can I see you later
will you give me back my dime
turn me osciallator
twisty with a dollar bill
mailman bring the paper
leave it on the window sill
solo 1
find a canary
a bird to bring my message home
carry my obituary
coffin doesn't have a fone
how ya gonna get the money
send papers to an empty home
how ya gonna get the money
nobody to answer the fone
solo 2
outro
