(Brinngnnggg Bringgg: Hello, who's that speaking, please?) 

GI'm (320003@1)on a party line, 

Wonderin' all the time, 
D (xx0232@1)   C (x32010@1)          GWho's (320003@1)on the other end? 
GIs (320003@1)she big, is she small? 
 
Is she a she at all? 
D (xx0232@1)   C (x32010@1)          GWho's (320003@1)on my party line? 


D (xx0232@1)          A (x02220@1)            DWish (xx0232@1)I had a more direct connection. 
     D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)           DThis (xx0232@1)party line was here when I arrived.

And I'm not voting in the next election, 
A (x02220@1)              C (x32010@1)             BmIf (x24432@1)they don't do something about finding out 
                  F# (244322@1)        GThe (320003@1)person who is on my party line.
