Busy Line

I put a nickel in the telephone
Dialed my baby's number
Got a brrr-brrr-brrr-brrr busy line
Each time I dialed 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 parlor doing fine
Busy kissing someone else
While I was keeping busy
Getting a brrr-brrr-brrr-brrr busy line

Called his uncle in Jamaica

And as I walked up to my baby then
I got my baby's number

Busy kissing someone else
