[Chorus]
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

[Verse 1]
When I dial 611, Repair Service
She said, "Hello, may I help you please?"
I told her something must be wrong with my phone
’Cause my baby wouldn't hang up on me

[Chorus]
So Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Verse 2]
She let the phone ring 20 times before she answered
Let me tell you what happened then
A minute later, I got the operator
Saying please hang up and place your call again

[Chorus]
So Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time

[Bridge]
Some strange man is on the telephone (The telephone)
Keeps telling me my baby, ain't home (That she's not home)
She ain't got no party line (No, oh)
Situation blowing my mind (Ooh, ooh)
Ooh, I just can't take this no more

[Chorus]
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
Mr. Telephone Man
There's something wrong with my line
When I dial my baby's number
I get a click every time
[Outro]
Ooh, it must be a bad connection
I give her my love and affection
Oh, see I just can't take this no more
This situation's blowing my mind (Blowing my mind)
Can't get my baby on the line (On the line)
I tried dialing information (Mr. Telephone Man)
Can't get no cooperation (Mr. Telephone Man)
Who's that guy on the phone
Telling me my baby ain't home?
Oh, I just can't take this no more
Please help me out, please Mr. Telephone Man
There's gotta be something wrong
