PRISM
"Party Line"
(Mitchell)

Operator got a party line
Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine
Gotta stay in touch, I don't want to lose her
She's really too much, I gotta talk to her

It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can't get through at all

[Chorus:]
I try to get in touch with you
Party Line
No luck no matter what I do
Party Line

Remember Chuck Berry on the radio
Say "Help me operator, get the one I know"
I'm holdin' that line, reachin' my extension
I'm runnin' out of dimes so won't you pay attention

In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones
I tell her that I love her but we're not alone
Who's that voice diggin' all the gossip
I can't get through at all

[Chorus]

Hang up and try it again...

[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
