Hello Operator (Classic 12" Version)

[Verse 1]
Well, they taught me how to think
Now I don't know how to use a telephone
I can't talk to my baby
Don't know if I can even get along

[Chorus]
Said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am" (Who I am)

[Verse 2]
Yesterday at the market
I couldn't tell the butter from the beans
I thought the meat werе potatoes
The fish werе tomatoes and the cashier was my mother

[Chorus]
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"

[Bridge]
Yesterday in traffic
I drove when the light burned red
I drove into a policeman
And bumped him 'til I thought he was dead
I said "Boom boom, your honor
Won't you let me speak my mind?"
I said "Boom boom, operator
I'm the one who lost my mind"

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Yesterday in traffic
I drove when the light burned red
I drove into a policeman
And bumped him 'til I thought he was dead
I said "Boom boom, your honor
Won't you let me speak my mind?"
I said "Boom boom, operator
I'm the one who lost my mind"

[Verse 3]
Now they're taking me away
And they've thrown away my set of keys
And I got no telephone
They won't let me speak my piece

[Chorus]
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
