(Would someone please hang up on that...)
{We're sorry, you must first dial a 1 when calling this number}

Operate that body, operate on me
Operate that body, take control of me
Operate that body, operate on me
Take control of that body, take control of me

I called my baby, up on the telephone
I get connected to a freaky zone
The conversation was strictly void
Said, if you don't join the party, go home

The operator said this was no mistake
I've been connecting every move you made
I hope you're ready to do me right
I want to operate my love tonight

[Chorus: ]
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, (baby, burning up on me)
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator

Operate that body, operate on me
Operate that body, take control of me
Operate that body, operate on me
Take control of that body, take control of me

Person-to-person is how it's got to be
Just one-on-one, baby, you and me
Computer freakin' all night long
And you can bet that all my circuits are strong

Just call me up, 'ever you find the time
We'll get together on the party line
Let's take our time and do it right
We're gonna operate our love tonight

[Chorus: ]

Call me up anytime (anytime)
I'm all in the mix because it's party time (I'm gonna take my time)
...gonna do it right (do it right)
I'm gonna operate your love tonight

[Chorus: ]

The operator was busy at the time
She told me, hold, please, on the telephone line?
I told her, hurry up 'cause I ain't got much time?
It's an emergency, I spent my last dime
I need a, I need a, I need a

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
