Busy Line

Busy Line - Rose Murphy/Dixieland All Stars/Billy May & His Orchestra

I put a nickel in the telephone

Dialled my babies number

Got a brrr brrr brrr brrr busy line

Each time I tried I got a busy tone

Not my babies 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 babies 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 babies number

He was busy in the parlour doing fine

Busy kissing someone else of

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 babies number

Got a brrr brrr brrr line

Each time I tried I got a busy tone

Not my babies 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 babies house I hurried

When I looked inside

The phone was off the hook hook hook

Walked up to my baby then

I got my babies 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
