[E]I just got into town and I didn't have nothing to do
When I [A]happened upon this telephone booth
With a [B7]whole bunch of writing covering one entire [E]wall[B7][E]
It said if [E]you ain't afraid to spend a dime
And if [A]you want to have a real good time
[B7]Just give Lucille a [E]call[B][E]
Underneath her name was this big long list
It said she'd do that and she'd do this
Well I let my fingers do the walking through all kinds of stuff I've missed
I shuffled through my pockets and I found myself a dime
I heard a ring or two and I got her on the line
And I said Lucille, I'd like to have a real good time
Chorus:
Might have found a [B7]lover, might have made a new [E]friend
Well I ain't had a [F#]real good time since I don't know [B7]when
She said who are you and what is this
I said this is Jim, Lucille and its about this list
Which I began to read with particular emphasis
All my favorite numbers 1, 5, 11, 14, 22, 33 and 41 through 59
She said where are you and I gave her the street
You sound like the kind of man I'd just love to meet
Stay right where you are and I promise you a real good time
Chorus
'Bout fifteen minutes after my arrest
In the middle of a question, I tried to protest
That I wasn't that phantom obscene phone caller or master of crime
Well they took me away and allowed me one call
And I recalled that number on the phone booth wall
And I said Lucille, me and you got an altogether different idea about a real good time!
Chorus 2:
I lost my lover, I lost my new friend
well you can't have a real good time doing one to ten (doing one to ten)
