Lyrics
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR TELEPHONES
WORDS & MUSIC BY MARIO KYRIACOU
G
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR TELEPHONES
I WANNA TALK TO SOMEONE COS I?M ON MY OWN
BUT WHEN YOU GET THROUGH THEY ASK YOU TO
ANSWERE A MILLION QUSTIONS BEFORE THEY PUT YOU THROUGH
CHORUS:
C
DIAL ONE IF YOU WANT A FRIEND
DIAL TWO IF YOUR CALLING ON A WEEKEND
G
DIAL FREE IF YOU WANNA TALK TO ME
DIAL FOUR IF YOU WANNA MAKE A CALL FOR FREE
Ab G
OH WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR TELEPHONE X 2
G
I CANT TALK, I CAN?T SPEAK,
I CAN?T DIAL NO MORE COS I?M FEELING WEAK
ALL I?M GETTING IS THE OPERATOR
I JUST RUN OUT OF MONEY HAVE TO CALL YOU LATER
CHORUS:
THEY SAID DIAL ONE IF YOU WANT A FRIEND
G
I TRIED USING MY LAND LINE
I CAN?T GET THROUGH UNLESS I PRESS THE NINE
IT?S BEEN THAT LONG SINCE I TRIED TO CALL
I?M DONE GIVEN UP GONNA FORGET IT ALL
C
ALL I?M GETTING IS THE OPERATOR
C
MY VOICE IS NOW SOUNDING LIKE A PERCOLATOR
G
TELL ME PLEASE FOR THE LAST TIME
CAN YOU PUT ME THROUGH TO THAT FRIEND OF MINE
SHE SAY?S CHORUS SOLO:
I CANT TALK, I CAN?T SPEAK, I CAN?T DIAL NO MORE COS I?M FEELING WEAK
TELL ME PLEASE FOR THE LAST TIME
CAN YOU PUT ME THROUGH TO THAT FRIEND OF MINE CHORUS TO END
