Mr. Operator

[Verse 1]
Mr. Operator, can you call me later?
Didn’t hear a word that you said
Waiting for connection in the right direction
Tired of getting out of my bed

[Chorus]
Ain’t there nobody home
When I pick up my phone?
Oh, Mr. Operator
Can you call me later tonight?

[Verse 2]
Mr. Operator, can you call me later?
Will the party call me collect?
Gettin’ kinda risky, drinkin’ too much whiskey
‘Fore too long, I’m gonna be wrecked

[Chorus]
Ain’t there nobody home
When I pick up my phone?
So Mr. Operator
Can you call me later tonight?

[Bridge]
Mr. Operator, Mr. Operator
Won’t you get my number tonight?
Mr. Operator, can I call you later?
Can I call you later? Can I call you later?

[Verse 3]
Mr. Operator, can you call me later?
Didn’t hear a word that you said
Waiting for connection in the right direction
Tired of getting out of my bed

[Chorus]
Ain’t there nobody home
When I pick up my phone?
So Mr. Operator
Can you call me later tonight?
