Busy Line

I put a nickel in the telephone
And dialled my baby's number
Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Each time I tried I got a busy tone
But not my baby's number
Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line

Called her uncle in Jamaica
Left a message with the baker
Even checked her number in the telephone book
Then I got so awfully worried
To my baby's house I hurried
And I looked inside, the phone was off the hook

And as I walked up to my baby
Then I got my baby's number
She was busy in the parlour doing fine
Busy kissing someone else
While I was keeping busy
Getting a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
