I just came into town i didn't have nothing to do
I happened upon this telephone booth
With a whole bunch of writing covering one entire wall
It said if you ain't afraid to spend a dime and if you wanna have a real good time
Just give lucille a call
Now underneath her number was this big long list said she'd do that
Said she'd do this
I let my fingers do the walking through all kinds of stuff i'd missed
Well, i shuffled through my pockets till i found myself a dime
I heard a ring or two i got her on the line
I said lucille, i'd like to have a real good time.
Chorus
I mighta found a lover i mighta made a new friend
I ain't had a real good time since i don't know when
Don't know when
She said well who are you and what is this
I said it's jim, lucille. it's about this list
Which i began to read with particular emphasis on my favorite numbers
1, 5, 11, 14, 21, 33, and 44 through 59
She said where are you i gave her the street
She said you sound like a guy i'd love to meet
She said stay right where you are and i promise you a real ggod time
Chorus
Mighta found a lover
Mighta made a new friend
I ain't had a real good time since i don't know when
'Bout 15 minutes after my arrest
In the middle of the questions i tried to protest
That i wasn't that man of obscene phone calls or master of crime
Well, they took me away they allowed me one call
I recalled that number on the phone booth wall
I said, lucille, me and you got a whole different idea about a real good time
Chorus
I lost my lover
I lost my new friend
You can't have a real good time
Doing 1 to 10
Hello, lucille. lookie here honey, i'm gonna be tied up here for quite awhile and i was wondering in oh maybe about ten years or so when i get out of here if you'd mind if i gave you a call
Hello. hello. lucille
