Operator, now that's it, yeah, operator
You piece of shit, take it, you piece of shit

Operator, can you help me?
Help me if you please
Give me the right area code
And the number that I need
My rider left on the midnight flyer
Singing like a summer breeze
I think she's somewhere down south
Down about Baton Rouge
But don't you know I forgot her number
A number I could use
Directory don't have it, central forgot it
Got to find a number to use
Try to check out her number
Try to run down her line
Operator said that's privileged information
And it ain't no business of mine
It's flooding down in Texas
The poles are out in Utah
Got to find a private line
She could be hanging round the steel mill
Or working in a house of blue lights
Riding a getaway bus out of Portland
Talking to the night
Don't know where she's going
Don't care where she's been
Long as she's been doing it right
