Nick Lowe Switch Board Susan lyrics

Switch board Susan, won't you give me a line?
I need a doctor, give me nine ninety nine
First time I picked up the telephone
I fell in love with your ringing tone

I'm a long distance romancer
I'll keep on trying till I get an answer
Gimme, gimme one more chance
She's a greater little operator

Switch board Susan let me off the hook
I've been this way since you gave me a look
Switch board Susan, you're all the rage
Come on, Susan, let's get engaged


When I'm with you, girl, I get an extension
And I don't mean Alexander Graham Bells' invention
Switch board Susan, can we be friends
After six, at weekends?

Hey, babe, you know where's it great?
38, 27, 38
Oh, you bring a smile to my dial
Oh, you're great, operator's great
