Have you read any good telephone books lately?
E B
If you ain't then let me recommend one
E A
I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times
E B E
If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun
E B A E
Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
B A E B
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
E A E
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end
B E B
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
E A
Well, I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything goin'
E B
She lived in Tulsa and didn't have anything on
E A
She said, My name is Shirley, and I said, My name is T.
E B E
I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone
E A
All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now
E B
And they gotta know how long I've been alone
E A
If you meet a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair
E B E
Would you tell her that she's wanted on the phone
E B A E
Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
B A E B
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
E A E
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end
B E B
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
E B E
I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
