"Hello Operator... I Mean Dad... I Mean Police... I Can't Even Remember Who I Am" lyrics

One two three four

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

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

Yesterday in traffic
I drove while the light turned red
Right into a policeman
And bumped him 'til I thought he lay 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"
Yeah, oh oh yeah

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

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