Would someone please hang that phone up?

Operate that body, operate on me

Operate that body, take control of me

Operate that body, operate on me

Take control of that body, take control of me

[Verse 1]

I call my baby up on the telephone

I got connected to a freaky zone

The conversation was strictly zoid

Said if you don't join the party, go home

The operator said this was no mistake

I been connecting every move you make

I hope you're ready to think right

I'm gonna operate my love tonight

[Chorus]

Operator, this is an emergency

Operator, baby, don't hang up on me

Operator, this is an emergency

Operator

[Refrain]

Operate that body, operate on me

Operate that body, take control of me

Operate that body, operate on me

Take control of that body, take control of me

[Verse 2]

Person to person is how it's got to be

Just one on one, baby, you and me

Computer freaking all night long

And you can bet that all my circuits are strong

Just call me up whenever you find the time

We'll get together on the party line

Let's take our time and do it right

We're gonna operate our love tonight

[Chorus]

Operator, this is an emergency

Operator, baby, don't hang up on me

Operator, this is an emergency

Operator

[Bridge]

(Call me up at any time)

Any time

(I'm all in the mix because it's party time)

I'm gonna take my time

Operator, baby, don't hang up on me

[Interlude]

Operator, can I help you?

Yes, I'm trying to, uh, reach my baby

And I dialed 616

Hey, sir, could you speak up a little louder?

Because I can just barely hear you

[Bridge]

The operator was busy at the time

She told me, "Hold, please, on the telephone line"

I told her, "Hurry up 'cause I ain't got much time

It's an emergency, I spent my last dime

I need a, I need a, I need a"

[Refrain]

Operate that body, operate on me

Take control of that body, take control of me
