Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Hello operator
Can you give me number nine?
Can i see you later?
Will you give me back my dime?
Turn the oscillator
Twist it with a dollar bill
Mail man bring the paper
Leave it on my windowsill
Find a canary
A bird to bring my message home
Carry my obituary
My coffin doesnt have a phone
How you gonna get the money?
Send papers to an empty home?
How you gonna get the money?
Nobody to answer the phone
