Telephone operator
Why can't I see you later
Telephone operator
Why can't I see you later
Tell me is it wine
That makes things so fine
Or is it 'cos you're mine
Telephone operator
You're my aural stimulator
Telephone operator
Ne c'est pas la raison d'etre
Tell me is it love
That I feel because
You're all I'm thinking of
Telephone operator
Phone you up an hour later
Telephone operator
Phoned you up an hour later
Tell me is it love
That I'm in because
I'm only thinking of you
Telephone operator
