  • Will someone please hang that phone up?

    "We're sorry, you must first dial a 1 when calling this number"

    Operate that body, operate on me
    Operate that body, take control of me
    Operate that body, operate on me
    Take control of that body, take control of me

    I called my baby up on the telephone
    I got connected to a freaky zone
    The conversation was strictly zoid
    Said if you don't join the party, go home
    The operator said this was no mistake
    I've been connecting every move you make
    I hope you're ready to think right
    I'm gonna operate my love tonight

    Operator, this is an emergency
    Operator
    Baby, don't hang up on me
    Operator, this is an emergency
    Operator

    Operate that body, operate on me
    Operate that body, take control of me
    Operate that body, operate on me
    Take control of that body, take control of me

    Person to person is how it's got to be
    One on one, baby, you and me
    Computer freaking all night long
    And you can bet that all my circuits are strong
    Just call me up whenever you find the time
    We'll get together on the party line
    Let's take our time and do it right
    I'm gonna operate my love tonight

    Operator, this is an emergency
    Operator
    Baby, don't hang up on me
    Operator, this is an emergency
    Operator

    Operate that body, operate on me
    Operate that body, take control of me
    Operate that body, operate on me
    Take control of that body, take control of me

    Call me up at any time (any time)
    I'm all in the mix because it's party time (I'm gonna take my time)
    Gonna take my time, gonna do it right (do it right)
    I'm gonna operate my love tonight

    Operator, this is an emergency (ooh, ooh)

    Baby, don't hang up on me

    "Operator, can I help you?"
    Yes, I'm trying to, uh, reach my baby and I dialed 6-1-6
    "Hey sir, could you speak up a little louder because I can just barely hear you"
    Operator was busy at the time
    She told me, "Hold, please," on the telephone line
    I told her, "Hurry up, 'cause I ain't got much time
    It's an emergency, I spent my last dime
    I need a, I need a, I need a"
