Telephone Man - Meri Wilson


Peaked at 18 in 1977 and was her only hit
Sold over a million copies
A "novelty" song
Produced by Boomer Castleman and Jim Rutledge of "Bloodrock"

I went to my apartment on a Monday at one
Asingin' do lolly lolly shicky bum shicky bum
Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two
Asingin' do lolly lolly shicky do shicky do
Wednesday at three I called the phone company singin':
"Hey baby put a phone in for me"
Thursday at four he came aknockin' at my door singin':

"Hey baby I'm your telephone man
You just 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 a buzz you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a dingaling
Becausea hey baby I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that? And then he says:

"Now when other fellas call ya tell 'em how it all began"

Well...can you imagine?

My heart began athumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was atalking I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' hey lolly lolly
Hey lolly lolly
Hey lolly lolly
Get it any way you can
Right? Ha ha ha 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 a buzz and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was I got a dingaling

Asingin' hey lolly lolly
Hey lolly lolly
Hey lolly lolly
Justa doin' my thing

Ha ha...I've never done anything like this before!

From: "David Hayman"
