Party Line

VERSE Operator got a party line Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine Gotta stay in touch, I don't want to lose her She's really too much, I gotta talk to her VERSE II It's a mighty long way to Louisiana... G.T.E. is messin' up my plans Lines get crossed everytime I call her I can't get through at all CHORUS I try to get in touch with you Party Line No luck no matter what I do Party Line VERSE III Remember Chuck Berry on the radio say "Help me operator, get the one I know" I'm holdin' that line, reachin' my extension I'm runnin' out of dimes so won't you pay attention VERSE IV In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones I tell her that I love her but we're not alone Who's that voice diggin' all the gossip I can't get through at all ( CHORUS ) BRIDGE Hang up and try it again... ( VERSE II - CHORUS - OUTRO )
