5.7.0.5.

City Boy



Five seven o five

But there's no reply

Five seven o five



Got myself just one more dime

But will the operator hold the line

When my ears keep telling me

There's no reply, no reply

I pick up the telephone

I go crazy when there's no one home

I feel cheated and small when

My number's on the wall of her room

Call me soon



Hey operator

Five seven o five

But there's no reply

Five seven o five

Why do you keep me hanging on the line



I can't believe that there's no one there

Is this a private number love affair

With your phone booth lover

Still waiting on the wire, high wire

I saw the light shine behind your door

I heard the party on the second floor

But you only pretend that you've been

Visiting friends from abroad, tell me more



Hey operator

Five seven o five

But there's no reply

Five seven o five

Why do you keep me hanging on the line

Mysterious people I can't believe what she done to me

It's too late now

It's all over town



Five seven o five

But there's no reply

Five seven o five

Can you hold the line
