Gary Brooker - Switchboard Susan

(Mickey Jupp)

Switchboard Susan won't give me a line
I need a doctor get me 999
The first time I picked up my telephone
I fell in love with your ringing tone

I'm a long distance romancer
And I keep on trying until I get an answer
Give me! give me! one more chance
You're a great, little operator

Switchboard Susan let me off the hook
I've been this way since you just gave me a look
Switchboard Susan girl you're all the rage
Come on woman now let's get engaged

I'm a long distance romancer
And I keep on trying until I get an answer
Give me! give me! one more chance
You're a great, little operator

Now when I look at you girl I get an extension
And I don't mean on Alexander Graham Bell's invention
Switchboard Susan can we be friends
After six and at weekends

I'm a long distance romancer
And I keep on trying until I get an answer
Give me! give me! one more chance
You're a great, little operator
