Lyrics

Hello there central,
Please give me my best man
Hello there central,
Please give me my best
Well, I gave you the right number
Gee I can't understand
Moaning, groaning, roaming, phonin'
Oh, there must be somebody there.
Oh Central, central tell me
What's that I hear.
Lord, could it be another woman there?
Oh Lord, could it be another woman there?
So tired walking the floor,
Wringing my hands and pulling my hair
Waiting, watching, praying, dreaming,
Oh, central won't you let me know
'Cus I can get a daddy most anywhere I go
Ah Central, central
I've been telephoning the blues
Central, central
Please give me good news.
I've been phoning, phoning,
I've been telephoning all night long.
Bet you 50 to 100,
There is something gong on wrong
