Operators Are Standing By — They Might Be Giants

Operators are standing by Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet And wish they could go home

Operators are standing by Poking holes in the ceiling tiles Making jokes about their old boyfriends

Operators are standing by Talking about their portrayal On T.V. where an actress sits With a headset in outer space

That's enough talking, ladies

Operators are standing by Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee Pass round the picture of a Mobius Strip And wish they could go home

And wish they could go home
