Bob Dylan - Long Distance Oprater lyrics

[Verse 1] Long-distance operator Place this call, it's not for fun Long-distance operator Please, place this call, you know it's not for fun I gotta get a message to my baby You know, she's not just anyone [Verse 2] There are thousands in the phone booth Thousands at the gate There are thousands in the phone booth Thousands at the gate Everybody wants to make a long-distance call But you know they're just gonna have to wait [Verse 3] If a call comes from Louisiana Please, let it ride If a call comes from Louisiana Please, let it ride This phone booth's on fire It's getting hot inside [Verse 4] Everybody wants to be my friend But nobody wants to get higher Everybody wants to be my friend But nobody wants to get higher Long-distance operator I believe I'm strangling' on this telephone wire
