F Bb F
I put a nickel in the telephone, dialled my baby's number,
G7 C7 F Caug
Got a brrr-brrr, brrr-brrr busy line.
F Bb F
Each time I tried I gotta busy tone, not my baby's number,
G7 C7 F F7
Just a brrr-brrr, brrr-brrr busy line.
Bb Bbm F F7
Called his uncle in Jamaica, left a message with the baker,
Bb Bbm F C7
Even checked the number in the telephone book,
Bb Bbm F D7
Got so awfully, awfully worried, to my baby's house I hurried.
G7 C7
When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook.
F Bb F
And as I walked up to my baby, then, I got my baby's number:
A7 Cm D7
He was busy in the parlour doing fine.
Gm Bbm F D7
Busy kissing someone else, while I was keeping busy,
G7 C7 F
Gettin’ a brrr-brrr, brrr-brrr busy line.
