I went to my apartment on a Monday at one
A-singin' "Joo, lolly, lolly, shikky-bum, shikky-bum"
Started movin' in on a Tuesday at two
Singin' "Joo, lolly, lolly, shikky-do, shikky-do"
Wednesday at three, I called the phone company
Singin' "Hey, baby, put a phone in for me"
Thursday at four, he came a-knockin' at my door
Singin' "Hey, baby, I'm the telephone man
Just show me where you want it and I'll put it where you can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it, you can have a ding-a-ling
'Cause, hey, baby, I'm the telephone man"
Can you believe that?
And then he says
"Now, when other fellas call you, just leave it on the hook"
My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while I was a-talkin', I was thinkin' up my plan
And my fingers did the walkin', I'm the telephone man
Hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can, right?
I got it in the bedroom and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz and I got it with a ring
Told me what my number was, I got a ding-a-ling
Singin' "Hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly
Hey, lolly, lolly"
Just a-doin' my thing, yeah
