Hello Operator lyrics

Hello operator
can you give me number nine
can i see you later
will you give me back my dime
turn the oscillator
twist it with a dollar bill
mail man bring the paper
leave it on my window sill

find a canary
a bird to bring my message home
carry my obituary
my coffin doesn't have a phone
how you gonna get the money
send papers to an empty home
how you gonna get the money
nobody to answer the phone
