Telegram

Since you're gone, I'm all alone – stop

Just can't make it on my own – stop

Operator, did you get the line?

Rush a cable, for I've got no time

Gotta send a telegram

Telegram to my baby

Yes, I'm gonna send a telegram

Telegram, and then maybe

He won't keep me yearnin'

Tonight he'll be on his way

Tomorrow he'll be here to stay

Help me, ma'am, I can't wait another day

Please forgive the things I said – stop

Didn't mean to make you sad – stop

Operator, I'll pay any rate

If my message will not be too late

Gotta send a telegram

Telegram to my baby

Yes, I'm gonna send a telegram

Telegram, and then maybe

He won't keep me yearnin'

Tonight he'll be on his way

Tomorrow he'll be here to stay

Help me, ma'am, I can't wait another day

I was such a fool to let him go

Too proud to show that I love him so

Gotta send a telegram

Telegram to my baby

Yes, I'm gonna send a telegram

Telegram, and then maybe

He won't keep me yearnin'

Tonight he'll be on his way

Tomorrow he'll be here to stay

Help me, ma'am, I can't wait another day
