I tried to call your number
But there's just no answer
Maybe there's no one there at all
I wait to hear from you
But it's just no use
So I'll try again tomorrow
Over again, as time passes by

Chorus:
Telephone Exchange, you've got the same old line
Telephone Exchange, just say hello or goodbye
Don't keep me waiting by the phone

It seems like all last evening
The phone just kept on ringing
I guess I'll try just a little bit longer
And so I'll pay with time
For this lonely crime
Of wanting to hear you say hello
Over again, as time passes by

Repeat Chorus

Solo

Chorus:
Telephone Exchange, you've got the same old line
Telephone Exchange, just say hello or goodbye
(Repeat Twice)
