I rented my apartment
on a Monday at one
Singing do lally, lally
Shakey bum, shakey bum
I started moving in
on a Tuesday at two
Singing do lally, lally
Shakey do, shakey do
Wednesday at three
I called the phone company
Singing hey baby
put a phone in for me
Thursday at four
he came knocking at the door
Singing hey baby
I'm your telephone man
Would you show me
where you want it
And I'll put it where I 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 the buzz
You can have it with the ring
And if you really want it
you can have a ding-a-ling
Because hey baby
I'm your telephone man
Can you believe that?
And then he says...
Now when other fellow's
call you tell them
how it all began
Well.., can you imagine
My heart began a thumping
and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealing
with no ordinary guy
So while he was a talking
I was thinking of my plan
Then my fingers did
the walking on the telephone
man, singing hey lally lally
sing hey lally lally, hey lally lally
get it anywhere you can
So.., 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 the buzz
and I got it with the ring
When he told me what
the number was
I got a ding-a-ling
Singing hey lally lally
hey lally lally, hey lally lally
Just a doing our thing
I've never told
anybody this before..!
