Fania All Stars - Smooth Operator Lyrics

Would someone please hang that phone up
{We’re sorry, you must first dial a 1 when calling this number}
Operator
Operator
Operator
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
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 connectin’ every move you made”
I hope you’re ready to do me right
I wanna operate my love tonight
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 whenever 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
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
Call me up any time (Any time)
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
Operator (Ooh...hoo...), this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
{Operator, can I help you?}
Yes, I’m trying to, uh, reach my baby
And I dialed 616
{Hey sir, could you speak up a little louder because I can just barely hear you}
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
Operator, shoop bop bop doo bop bop ba da doo bop
Operator, shoop bop bop doo bop bop ba da doo bop
Operator, shoop bop bop doo bop bop ba da doo bop
Operator, shoop bop bop doo bop bop ba da doo bop
Call me up any time (Any time)
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
Operator (Ooh...hoo...), this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
{Hey sir, could you speak up a little louder because I can just barely hear you}
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
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
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator, baby, burning up on me
Operator, this is an emergency
Operator
