Chorus:
mr. telephone man, thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand's number, i get a click every time
mr. telephone man, thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand'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 wouldnand't hang up on me
Chorus:
mr. telephone man, thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand's number, i get a click every time
mr. telephone man, thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand'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
thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand's number
i get a click every time
mr. telephone man
somethingand's wrong with the line
(thereand's something wrong with my line)
when i dial his number
(when i dial my babyand's number)
(i get a click every time)
Some strange woman is on the telephone (the telephone)
keeps telling me that my baby, he ainand't home (that heand's not home)
he ainand't got no party line, this situation blows my mind
oh... i just canand't take this anymore
Bridge:
please operator, see what you can do
i dialed the right number, but i still couldnand't get through
would you just check the wire, his number one more time if you can
iand'm pretty sure heand's phone ainand't being answered by no woman
Chorus:
mr. telephone man
thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand's number
i get a click every time
mr. telephone man
somethingand's wrong with the line
(thereand's something wrong with my line)
when i dial his number
(when i dial my babyand's number)
(i get a click every time)
Must be a bad connection
with my loving affection
ah baby, i just canand't take this no more
this situation blows my mind
canand't get my baby on the line
(on the line)
Chorus:
mr. telephone man (i tried dialing information)
thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand's number (i get no cooperation)
i get a click every time
mr. telephone man (mr. on the phone telling me my baby ainand't home)
thereand's something wrong with my line
when i dial my babyand's number (ah baby)
i get a click every time (i just canand't take it anymore)
Mr. telephone man (help me out)
thereand's something wrong with my line (please mr. telephone man)
when i dial my babyand's number (help me out)
i get a click every time (please mr. telephone man)
mr. telephone man thereand's something wrong with the line (mr. telephone man)
when i dial his number i get a click every time...
