Well, I was rolling down the highway
To see my baby, Ruth
Car broke down, tire blew out
Found a telephone booth

I tried to call my honey
What was the sound I had to hear
(Buzz buzz a diddle it) in my ear
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)

It’s some endless yakking hound dog
Hawking and sweet talking to my dear
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)

Central seven, who’s on that line
Break through to my baby
Three-o-nine-three-nine
Oh, S. O. S., sweet mama
Switch me to heaven
Get me through
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)

Telephone operator
My loving future hangs on you
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)

Hang on

Central seven, who’s on that line
Break through to my baby
Three-o-nine-three-nine
Oh, S. O. S., sweet mama
Switch me to heaven
Get me through
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)

Telephone operator
My loving future hangs on you
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)

Come on, honey
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)
Get my baby
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)
Come on, sugar
(Buzz buzz a diddle it)…
