In a 1987 interview, Ian Gillan said about this song: “Yeah, that’s a telephone call about this bird… oh, it’s a cheap pun really, but it’s an interesting lyric and it has an interesting chorus. We thought it was too soft and sloppy at first – it nearly got rejected, strangely enough – but when it w...
Call of the Wild Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Operator, I'm looking for a girl
You've got to help me get through
I don't know much about her
So I'm relying on you
She got rhythm but no sense of time
She likes living but she's got no address
Operator, you've got to get me out of this mess
Let me tell you about her
[Chorus]
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch, but not out of mind
And I've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
[Verse 2]
She's a hitch-hiker, never gets a ride
But you can bet she's on time
She's always around but so hard to find
She causes trouble, she never takes offense
Dirty mind, a heart of gold
Operator don't, don't you put me on hold, no
[Chorus]
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon (oh, yeah)
She's out of touch, but not out of mind
And I've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
[Instrumental bridge]
[Chorus]
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch, but not out of mind
And I've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
[Outro]
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch, not out of mind
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She's out of touch, not out of mind
