Operator, can you help me ? Help me if you please
Give me the right area code and the number that I need
My rider left upon a midnight flyer
Singin'like a s ummer b reeze
I think she's somewhere down south, down about Baton Rouge
I just can't remember no number, a number I can use
Directory don't have it, central done forgot it
Got to find a number to use

Tryin'to check out a n umber, t ryin'to run down a li ne
Operator said that's privileged information
And it ain't no business o'mine
It's floodin'down in Texas, the p oles are down in Utah
Got to find a private line
She could be hanging 'round a steel mill,
Working in a house of blue light
Riding a get-away bus out of Portland, talkin'to the night
I don't know where she's gone,
I don't care where she's been
Long as she's been doin'it r ight
