"Off The Hook" — a 1964 B-side. Jagger ignoring a persistent phone caller with maximum cool.
M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Sittin' in my bedroom late last night
Got into bed and turned out the light
Decided to call my baby on the telephone
All I got was an engaged tone
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
Talkin' so long she upset my mind
Why is she talkin' such a long time?
Maybe she's sleeping, maybe she's ill
Phone's disconnected, unpaid bill
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
Don't wanna see her, afraid of what I'd find
Tired of letting her upset me all the time
Back into bed started reading my books
Take my phone right off of the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
It's off the hook
(repeat and fade)

- B-side of "Little Red Rooster" in the UK (November 1964). A compact, sharp-edged track that perfectly captures the Stones at their mid-1964 confidence peak.
