TELEPHONE BABY
(E. Meyers)
WAIRLY FAIRBURN (Savoy 1521, 1957)

Hey telephone baby, you spent an hour on that line
Telephone baby, you been an hour on that line
It's a cool conversation on a four party line
Telephone baby, it's a four party line
Hey telephone baby, ain't you finished with your call
Telephone baby, with your feet up on the wall
Goin' over campus capers or the teenage ball
Telephone baby, it's a teenage call

Hey telephone baby, are you sittin' in your chair
Telephone baby, with your feet up in the air
You kept me waitin' 'bout an hour
But you ain't no square
Telephone baby, no you ain't no square

Hey telephone baby, don't you ever-ever tire
Telephone baby, don't you ever-ever tire
Now you started doin' your homework
On the telephone wire
Telephone baby, you're a real live wire
Telephone baby, telephone baby
Telephone baby, telephone baby
Telephone baby, telephone baby
