Operator

Operator, Do you mind if I talk to you
But I feel so lonely sat here on my own
Operator, I had a little trouble getting through
Then I never have been good at using phones
All lines from London are engaged
The forecast says that it will rain
This service has been stopped
The Time is eight o'clock
Replace your phone and dial again
Operator, You're probably think I'm daft
But I very nearly didn't make this call
Operator, I know this will make you laugh
But I find it hard to talk to anyone at all
All lines from London are engaged
The forecast says that it will rain
This service has been stopped
The Time is eight o'clock
Operator, I don't wanna take up all your time
So if you have to go then please just say
Operator, I'd like to call you again if you don't mind
Cause this talk we've had has really made my day
All lines from London are engaged
The forecast says that it will rain
This service has been stopped
The Time is eight o'clock
Replace your phone and dial again
And Dial again
All lines from London are engaged - Please try later
All lines from London are engaged - Please try later
