Operator
Operator, well could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

Vintage telephone probably circa 1960. JIm Croce, Operator 1972.
One of my many childhood ambitions was to be a telephone operator. This ambition was never realised despite at the age of 8 me spending many hours practising such phrases as, "Number please" "Do you mind waiting a few minutes?" "I'm afraid the line's engaged" and " Caller, press button A." Ironically in mid-life, I ended up working as a manager in customer service for British Telecom, where none of those phrases had any use :))
