Party Line
Composer(s): Ray Davies; Dave Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



(Hello, who’s that speaking, please?)

I’m on a party line
Wonderin’ all the time
Who’s on the other end? 
Is she big, is she small? 
Is she a she at all? 
Who’s on my party line? 

Wish I had a more direct connection
This party line was here when I arrived
And I’m not voting in the next election
If they don’t do something about finding out
The person who is on my party line

I’m on a party line
I’m on a party line

I can’t speak without an interception
This is private, please get off my line
Please tell me when I can have my privacy
I’d like to meet the girl who’s always talking
When I’m speaking on my party line

Wish I had a more direct connection
This party line was here when I arrived
And I’m not voting in the next election
If they don’t do something about finding out
The person who is on my party line
