Operators Are Standing By Lyrics - 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
