The Telephone GirL
----- o-----
The telephone girl sits in her chair
and listens to voices from everywhere
Hears all the gossip, she hears all
the news, she knows who is happy
and who has the blues; she knows all
our sorrows, she knows all our joys,
□ he knows every girl who is chasiim
the boys; she knows all our troubles,
she knows of our strife; she knows
every man who is mean to his wife;
she knows every time we are out with
the boys, she hears the excuses each
one employs; she knows every wom­
an who has a dark past; she knows
every man who’s inclined to be “fast”
in fact there’s a secret 'neath each
saucy curl of that quiet, demur look­
ing telephone girl. If the telephone
girl would tell all that she knows she
would turn half our friends into bitter
foes; she would sow a small wind
that would soon be a gale, engulf us
in trouble and land us in jail; sbe
could let go a story (which gaining in
force) would cause half our wives to
sue for divorce; she could get all the
churches mixed up in a fight and turn
all our days into sorrowing nights:
in fact, she could 1 keep the whole
town in a stew if 1 she’d tell a tenth
part of the thing! s that she knew.
Now doesn’t make your head whirl
when you think what you owe to the
telephone girl.
