I tried to call your number,
But there's just no answer
Maybe there's no one there at all
I wait to hear from you,
But it's just no use
So I'll try again tomorrow
Over again, as time passes by

Chorus:
Telephone Exchange, you've got the same old line
Telephone Exchange, just say hello or goodbye
Don't keep me waiting by the phone

It seems like all last evening,
The phone just kept on ringing
I guess I'll try just a little bit longer
And so I'll pay with time,
For this lonely crime,
Of wanting to hear you say hello
Over again, as time passes by

Repeat Chorus

Solo

Chorus:
Telephone Exchange, you've got the same old line
Telephone Exchange, just say hello or goodbye
(Repeat Twice)
