Have you read any good telephone books lately?

If you ain't then let me recommend one

I've already read that tulsa telephone book thirteen times

If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun

Readin' that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane

Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name

I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end

So I'm readin' that tulsa telephone book again

Well, I was in tulsa and didn't have anything goin'

She lived in tulsa and didn't have anything on

She said, "my name is juanita," and I said, "my name is j.b. [t.]"

When I woke up the very next mornin' she was gone

All of the tulsa operators know my voice now

And they gotta know how long I've been alone

If you meet a girl named juanita with some ribbons in her hair

Would you tell her that she's wanted on the phone

Readin' that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane

Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name

I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end

So I'm readin' that tulsa telephone book again
