6060-842
THE B52´S Lyrics

Tina went to the Lady's room
Tina went to use the restroom

Saw written on the wall
Tina saw something written on the wall

"If you'd like a very nice time Just give this number a call"
The writing on the wall advertised a phone number for a good time

It was 6060-842 606 and I'm waitin' for you 6060-842 606 and I'm waitin' for you
The phone number advertised on the wall was 6060-842, and the artist is waiting for someone to answer when they call it

Tina reached in her pocketbook Pulled out a thin dime Dropped it in the phone slot Prayin' she'd get the line
Tina searched for a coin, found a dime, and inserted it into the phone, hoping someone would answer when she called the advertised number

Dial the number to call Get no answer at all Dime's in the slot Ready to trot
The singer dialed the number but no one answered. The coin is still in the phone slot and ready to be used again

Uh, 6060-842 I've been tryin' all day And I'm makin' no headway Operator, what's wrong? I dial stupid number all day long
The singer has been trying to call 6060-842 all day but no one ever answers, and they wonder what's wrong. They feel frustrated for wasting their time on a useless phone number

Operator said, Your number's been disconnected Your number's been disconnected Your number's been disconnected Your number's been disconnected
The operator tells the artist that the advertised phone number has been disconnected

Hello? I'm sorry Hello? I'm sorry Hello? I'm sorry
The artist tries calling the disconnected number again and again but only gets a recording saying 'hello' and 'I'm sorry' repeatedly
