Operator, can you help me? Help me if you please
Give me the right area code and the number that I need
My rider left upon a midnight flyer
Singin' like a summer breeze
Think she's somewhere down south, down about Baton Rouge
I just cain't remember no number, a number I can use
Directory don't have it, central done forgot it
Got to find a number to use
play the intro here)
Tryin' to check out a number, tryin' to run down a line
Operator said that's privileged information and it ain't no business o' mine
It's floodin' down in Texas, the poles are down in Utah
Got to find a private line
She could be hanging 'round a steel mill, working in a house of blue light
Riding a get-away bus out of Portland, talkin' to the night
I don't know where she's gone, I don't care where she's been
Long as she's been doin' it right
(now slap that Bb harp in your rack & blow with all yer might like so...)
