I put a nickel in the telephone, dialled my baby’s number Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line Each time I tried I got a busy tone Not my baby’s number Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Called his uncle in Jamaica Left a message with the baker Even checked the number in the telephone book Got so awfully, awfully worried To my baby’s house I hurried When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook
And as I ^walked up to my baby - then I got my baby’s number She was busy in the parlour doing fine Busy kissing someone else While I was keeping busy Getting a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
