PENNSYLVANIA 6-5000
Glenn Miller


I got my shoes shined up
I got my hair slicked down
'Cause baby I wanna hit the town
Call me - Pennsylvania 6-5000

I'm gonna shake you up (all night)
Rock you all night long (all right)
Baby you got something
Goin' on
Call me - Pennsylvania 6-5000

Write it down,in your book
On your wall,oh baby just call
Pennsylvania 6-5000

You got the look I like(oh yeah)
Come on and show it off
Whatever your doin' blow it off
Call me - Pennsylvania 6-5000

You know I just got paid
I got my hot rod wheels
So if you wanna find out how it feels
Call me - Pennsylvania 6-5000

Write it down,in your book
On your wall,oh baby just call
Pennsylvania 6-5000
In your room,in your bed
Keep it in your head,oh baby just call
Pensylvannia 6-5000

Hey oh(hey oh)
Hey oh(hey oh)
Na na na na(na na na na)
Pensylvania 6-5-0-0-0
Write it down,in your book
On your wall,oh baby just call
Pensylvania 6-5000
In your room,in your bed
Keep it in your head,oh baby just call
Pennsylvania 6-5000
Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0

Hello operator, give me Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0.

Numbers I've got by the dozen,
Everyone's uncle and cousin,
But I can't live without buzzin'
Pennsylvania six five thousand!

I've got a sweetie I know there,
Someone who sets me aglow there,
Gives me the sweetest "Hello there!",
Pennsylvania six five thousand!

We don't say "How are you?",
And very seldom ask "What's new?",
Instead we start and end each call
With "Baby, confidentially, I love you!".

Maybe it sounds a bit funny
When I'm away from my honey;
Here's what I do with my money,
Pennsylvania six five thousand!

Hello, operator hello,
Give me the greatest pleasure to call
Pennsylvania six five thousand.
(scat)
Hello, operator hello,
Please don't keep me waitin' to call
Pennsylvania six five thousand!.

Numbers I've got by the dozen,
Everyone's uncle and cousin,
But I can't live without buzzin'
Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0!

I've got a sweetie I know there,
Someone who sets me aglow there,
Gives me the sweetest "Hello there!",
Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0!

Oh, ring that bell!

We don't say "How are you?",
And very seldom ever ask "What's new?",
Instead we start each call and we end each call
With "Baby, confidentially, I love you!".

Maybe it sounds a bit funny
When I'm away from my honey;
Here's what I do with my money,
Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0!

Ring, ring ring, ring my number,
Ring, ring ring, ring my number,
Ring, ring ring, ring my number,
Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0!
