Hey there baby, I'm your telephone man!

So, my mom used to sing us funny songs and silly rhymes when we were growing up. She is very funny and cute and we loved to learn those songs. Anyway, I was singing one of those songs the other day to a friend of mine who is a telephone guy at work anyway, I only knew the chorus and so we googled it to find the rest of the song. When we read the words I almost died of shock. I think the description of the song on the website was 'it is like soft porn!' Erm.. yeah, thanks Mom, teaching us dodgy songs!!!!! What is that about!

Here are the words to the song, just in case you thought I was making it up!!!!

I rented my apartment on a Monday at one
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky bum, shicky bum
Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky do, shicky do
Wednesday at three I called the phone company
Singin' hey baby put a phone it for me
Thursday at four he came knockin' at my door singin':

Hey, baby I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring.
And if you really want it, you can have a ding-a-ling
Because a-hey baby I'm your telephone man.

Can you believe that? And then he says"

"Now when other fella's call ya, tell 'em how it all began."

Well... Can you imagine?

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was a talkin', I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can
Right? Ha ha ha so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
I got it in the bathroom and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was, I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Just-a doin' my thing.

Ha ha... I've never done anything like this before.
