Verse 1
Operators are standing by
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet
And wish they could go home
Chorus
Operators are standing by
Poking holes in the ceiling tiles
Making jokes about their old boyfriends and
Days gone by
Verse 2
Operators are standing by
Talking about their portrayal
On the TV where an actress sits
With a headset in outer space
Bridge
That's enough talking, ladies.
Verse 3
Operators are standing by
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Pass 'round a picture of a mobius strip
And wish they could go home
