I put a nickel in the telephone, dialled my baby's number
Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Each time I tried I got a busy tone
Not my baby's number
Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Called his uncle in Jamaica
Left a message with the baker
Even checked the number in the telephone book
Got so awfully, awfully worried
To my baby's house I hurried
When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook
And as I walked up to my baby - then
I got my baby's number
He was busy in the parlour doing fine
Busy kissing someone else
While I was keeping busy
Getting a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
...busy line
Just brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Just biz-biz-biz-biz busy line
Biz-biz busy line
I put my nickel in the telephone
Dialled my baby's number
Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, ... line
Each time I tried I got a busy tone
Not my baby's number
Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
In Jamaica, left a message with the baker
Even checked his number in the telephone book
Got so awfully, awfully worried
To my baby's house I hurried
When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook, hook, hook
Walked up to my baby - then
I got my baby's number
He was busy in the parlour doing fine
Busy kissing someone else
While I was keeping busy
Getting a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
