Hello Operator ... I Mean Dad ... I Mean Police ... I Can’t Even Remember Who I Am Was (Not Was)

[Intro]
One two three four

[Verse 1]
Well, they taught me how to think
But I don't know how to use a telephone
I can't talk to my baby
I don't know if I can get along

[Chorus]
I said "Hello operator...I mean Dad...I mean police...
I can't even remember who I am"

[Verse 2]
Yesterday at the market
I couldn't tell the butter from the beans
I thought the meat were potatoes
The fish were tomatoes and the cashier was my mother

[Chorus]
I said "Hello operator...I mеan Dad...I mean police...
I can't evеn remember who I am"

[Bridge]
Yesterday in traffic
I drove while the light turned red
Right into a policeman
And bumped him 'til I thought he lay dead
I said "Boom boom, your honor
Won't you let me speak my mind?"
I said "Boom boom, operator
I'm the one who lost my mind"
Yeah, oh oh yeah
