Everybody rappin' and talkin' 'bout nothin' and making em sexy sounds

And in the meantime and in-between-time I'm down here on the ground

But now I'm not complainin' about what's pertainin' to my present status quo

About thing's gettin' hard ooh my God inflation I know you know Listen

Now just yesterday I'd like to say before I got on my bed

Now I was already tired on the for-real side and a few bills I'd have got to pay 27820,-509)

Now my phone rang and a cute little girl began to sing this tune

She said Mr Watson I'd like to inform you your phone is turned off at noon

Now that came to me as no surprise 'cause last week I went up the coast

I met a cute little girl that was all the way live and callin' her I thought was the most

She had them great big eyes and 'em great big legs and it gave my body a chill

So you know I never thought about the cost and no a telephone bill

So I just kept on rappin' my hands got clappin' havin' myself a ball

Eh ah you know it slipped my mind it was at the same time I was makin' a long distance call

So that day before yesterday I ran into the problem just making them calls an hollers

And I picked up the envelope that contained my bill guess what 500 dollars

Now the next time I call this big-leg-cutie to make myself a date

I'm gonna call that girl way after nine and get me the evening rate

Now I ain't gonna tell her shh ain't gonna tell her nothin' to blow my frown thing

But it'll be way way way after nine when she'll hear her telephone ring

Ring it Ring it Ring that telephone

Ring it Ring it Ring that telephone

I said ring it Ring it Have yourself a thrill

And when you ring it ring it watch your phone bill

Now I paid the bill and the deal was real and my talking resumed and all

A ah I said from now on pal I must stick to my local calls

Now a few weeks passed and I would just guess y-you know what I'm talkin' about

I say when I got the bill the figure was so low I was impressed Knock me out

Now shortly that after something stopped my laughter I was upside diggin' in the yard

Heard a ding and I heard a dong it was the phone Ooh my Lord

Say I dropped my shovel and my body I levelled and I made me a 100-yard dash

And then I straightened up my clothes and I blew my nose through a kleenex in the trash

I composed myself and I picked up the phone and I was still kinda huffin' and puffin'

And the operator said would you accept a collect call I said Ain't that nothing

But uh I was just cool 'cause you know I didn't wanna be no fool and see I didn't know who it was

It was the big-legged cutie from up off the coast tellin' me that she was in love

Then now for three whole minutes I planned to talk not now you all know I ain't never lied

But in love or not I planned to stop when the third minute arrived 164720,-179)

I went three minutes past it occured to me ooh She might talk a week

I I said I'm sorry Baby look I gotta go She was a telephone freak

She said Oh Johnny talk a little longer With you I'm so in love

I said I know where you're comin' from I can dig it I gotta go rehearse at the club

She said Well if you gotta go rehearse I'll call you later there's some I gotta tell you what's on my mind

I said Well yeah okay Baby you can call me back anytime after nine

Ring it Ring it Ring that telephone

Why don't you ring it Ring it Ring that telephone

And when you ring it ring it have yourself a thrill

And ring it ring it watch your phone bill
