Have you read any good telephone books lately?

If you ain't, let me recommend one

I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times

If you don't know any last names, it ain't much fun



Readin' that Tulsa Telephone Book

Can drive a man insane

Especially if that girl you're lookin' for

Has no last name

I've got to find her and tell her

That I don't want our love to end

So I'm readin' that Tulsa Telephone Book again



I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything going

She lived in Tulsa and didn't have anyting on

She said "My name's Juanita"

I said "My name's J.B."

I awoke the very next morning, and she was gone



All the Tulsa operators know my voice know

They've got to know just how long I've been alone

If you meet a girl named Juanita with some ribbons in her hair

Could you tell her that she's wanted on the phone?
