Information Please
The Ink Spots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Information please, tell me am I the lucky one?
Information please, tell me am I the guy who won?
I want to walk right down that middle aisle, I do.
So while I'm dreaming, tell me will my dreams come true?
Information please, tell me just what I want to know.
Information please, tell me to stay or should I go?
I love her, 'deed I do. But does she love me, too?
Information please, tell me what I want to know.
Information please, tell me: am I the lucky one?
Information, information; please tell me: am I the guy who won?
You see, I want to walk right down, straight down that middle aisle, I really do.
So while I'm dreaming kindly tell me: will all my dreams come true?
Information plese, tell me just what I want to know.
Information please, tell me to stay or should I go?




I love her, 'deed I do, but does she love me, too?
Information please, tell me what I want to know.

Another great Ink Spots song I hadn't heard prior to finding this channel!

Blagden Le Corbeau

This song became a private joke with a friend, because I discovered it around when I was asking a lot of Information to him.

Is this about the radio show?

Austin Casey

No. Back then you'd say "information please" on the phone which was the equivalent of our modern day 4-1-1. This song is written as if the artist is speaking with the operator.
