[D] [Ab] Ladies and gentlemen, [G] you know what?
I decided to do some [A] old school for you.
The other day, [Ab] I was riding down the street and an [G] old song came on the radio.
It went a little something like this.
[Ab] Woo!
[G] Hey!
When I dialed [D] 611, prepare a service.
[G] He said, hello, can I [D] help you please?
[G] I told him something [D] must be wrong with my phone
[G] cause my baby wouldn't hang [B] up on me.
[Ab] [G] Mr.
Telephone Man, [D] there's something wrong with my line.

Telephone Man, [D] there's something wrong with my line.

[G] Let me tell you what [D] happened then.
Look, [G] a minute later, [D] I got the operator
[G] saying please hang up and place your call again.

[G] I mean, I dialed the right number, but I still couldn't get through.
