Chorus: Mr. telephone man, there's something wrong with my line When I dial my baby's number, I get a click every time Mr. telephone man, there's something wrong with my line When I dial my baby's number, I get a click every time When I dial 6-1-1 paid service She said “hello, may I help you please” I told her something must be wrong with my phone Cause my baby wouldn't hang up on me Chorus: Mr. telephone man, there's something wrong with my line When I dial my baby's number, I get a click every time Mr. telephone man, there's something wrong with my line When I dial my baby's number, I get a click every time He let the phone ring 20 times before he answered Let me tell you what happened then A minute later, I got the operator, saying “Please hang up and place you call again” baby Chorus: Mr. telephone man There's something wrong with my line When I dial my baby's number I get a click every time Mr. telephone man Something's wrong with the line (There's something wrong with my line) When I dial his number (When I dial my baby's number) (I get a click every time) Some strange woman is on the telephone (the telephone) Keeps telling me that my baby, he ain't home (that he's not home) He ain't got no party line, this situation blows my mind Oh...
