Lyrics

  1. Say, just wait a minute, who are you?
    Central’s got us twisted, that will do
    Look here, kid, don’t tell me your troubles
    ‘Cause I am not your Lulu
    So you own a benzine buggy?
    Tell me where it’s waiting, me for you
    You can’t help but know me, dressed in blue
    I’ll be ready in half a minute, promise to wait
    And you’ll be happy that your Lulu
    Failed to keep her date

Chorus
You’ve got the wrong number, listen kid
You’ve got the number wrong
But you’ll be glad you did
You’ll meet a steady old pal when you meet me
Who likes some teasing, squeezing
I’ll be anything but freezing
I live on Main Street twenty two
You take a chance with me
I’ll take a chance with you
Just bring around that car and take me for a little whirl
You’ve got the wrong number
But you’ve got the right girl

  1. Next day Bill called Lulu on the phone
    Bill asked Lulu if she was alone
    And she said, “It this Mister Mormon
    What do you think I’m made of?
    I heard all about that joy ride
    Bill, I thought that you were on the square
    You’ll call and explain it, if you dare
    You got on our party wire, I knew your voice
    No, Bill, I wouldn’t but in
    First call always gets first choice
