Dave Dudley - Tulsa Telephone Book Lyrics


Dave Dudley Lyrics

Tulsa Telephone Book Lyrics
Have you read any good telephone books lately

If you ain't then 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

Well I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything going

And she was in Tulsa and didn't have anything on

She said my name is Shirley and I said my name is Dave

I woke up the next morning and she was gone

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book will drive a man insane

Especially if that girl you're looking for has no last name

I got to find her and tell her I don't want our love to end

So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

[ piano ]

All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now

They must know how long I've been alone

If you see a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair

Tell her that she's wanted on the phone

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book...

I keep on readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
