They call me the Long Tall Shorty

'Cause I know what love is all about

They call me Long Tall Shorty

'Cause I know what love is all about

Well I can tell you where the lights go

Oh, when they go out



Girls, if you get lonely

Dial 4-2-4-6-8-9

Well, girls, if you get lonely

Dial 4-2-4-6-8-9

And your troubles will be over

I'll even give you back you dime

Oh yeah



I like 'em long, I like 'em tall

I like 'em short, and that ain't all

Now when I die, don't bury me deep

Just put some women to my head, to my feet

Tell all the world now, to come and peep

Long Tall Shorty now has gone to sleep

Whoa now



I like 'em long, I like 'em tall

Oh yeah



They call me Long Tall Shorty

'Cause I know what love is all about

They call me Long Tall Shorty

'Cause I know what love is all about

Well I can tell you where the lights go

Oh, when they go out
