Have you read any good telephone books lately? 
If you ain't then let me recommend one 
I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times 
If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane 
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name 
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end 
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

Well, I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything goin' 
She lived in Tulsa and didn't have anything on 
She said, "My name is Shirley," and I said, "My name is T." 
I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone

All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now 
And they gotta know how long I've been alone 
If you meet a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair 
Would you tell her that she's wanted on the phone

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane 
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name 
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end 
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again 

I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
