Have you read any good telephone books lately?

If you ain´t then let me recommend one
I´ve already read that tulsa telephone book thirteen times
If you don´t know any last names it ain´t much fun
Readin´ that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
Especially if that girl you´re lookin´ for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her, I don´t want our love to end
So I´m readin´ that tulsa telephone book again
Well, I was in tulsa and didn´t have anything goin´
She lived in tulsa and didn´t have anything on
She said, "my name is juanita," and I said, "my name is j.b. [t.]"
When I woke up the very next mornin´ she was gone

All of the tulsa operators know my voice now
And they gotta know how long I´ve been alone
If you meet a girl named juanita with some ribbons in her hair
Would you tell her that she´s wanted on the phone
Readin´ that tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
Especially if that girl you´re lookin´ for has no last name
I gotta find her and tell her, I don´t want our love to end
So I´m readin´ that tulsa telephone book again
