"Hello Operator" lyrics

Well, they taught me how to think
Now I don't know how to use a telephone
I can't talk to my baby
Don't know if I can even get along

Said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am" (Who I am)

Yesterday at the market
I couldn't tell the butter from the beans
I thought the meat were potatoes
The fish were tomatoes and the cashier was my mother

I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"

Yesterday in traffic
I drove when the light burned red
I drove into a policeman
And bumped him 'til I thought he was dead
I said "Boom boom, your honor
Won't you let me speak my mind?"
I said "Boom boom, operator
I'm the one who lost my mind"

Yesterday in traffic
I drove when the light burned red
I drove into a policeman
And bumped him 'til I thought he was dead
I said "Boom boom, your honor
Won't you let me speak my mind?"
I said "Boom boom, operator
I'm the one who lost my mind"

Now they're taking me away
And they've thrown away my set of keys
And I got no telephone
They won't let me speak my piece

I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
I said "Hello operator... I mean Dad... I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"
