Lyrics
Operator, Operator
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Operator, operator gets low
When she can't find the number,
Cryin' on the telephone
It's hard, it's harder when she knows
Newscasters don't watch the news like operators
Don't get numbers they lose
I'm a castle, I'm a castle in the sand
And you were the queen until the tide came in
Or some alone operators on the telephone
Muppets/Puppets ??? don't move unless theirs strings
Bars and trains don't work without energy
Ohhhhhhhh
Operator, operator gets low
Operator, operator gets low
