I rented my apartment

on a Monday at one

Singing do lally, lally

Shakey bum, shakey bum

I started moving in

on a Tuesday at two

Singing do lally, lally

Shakey do, shakey do

Wednesday at three

I called the phone company

Singing hey baby

put a phone in for me

Thursday at four

he came knocking at the door

Singing hey baby

I'm your telephone man

Would you show me

where you want it

And I'll put it where I can

I can put it in the bedroom

I can put it in the hall

I can put it in the bathroom

I can hang it on the wall

You can have it with the buzz

You can have it with the ring

And if you really want it

you can have a ding-a-ling

Because hey baby

I'm your telephone man

Can you believe that?

And then he says...

Now when other fellow's

call you tell them

how it all began

Well.., can you imagine

My heart began a thumping

and my mind began to fly

And I knew I wasn't dealing

with no ordinary guy

So while he was a talking

I was thinking of my plan

Then my fingers did

the walking on the telephone

man, singing hey lally lally

sing hey lally lally, hey lally lally

get it anywhere you can

So.., I got it in the bedroom

and I got it in the hall

And I got it in the bathroom

and he hung it on the wall

I got it with the buzz

and I got it with the ring

When he told me what

the number was

I got a ding-a-ling

Singing hey lally lally

hey lally lally, hey lally lally

Just a doing our thing

I've never told

anybody this before..!
