Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh, yeah

Operator, I'm looking for a girl

You've got to help me get through

I'm no merchant 'bout to hassle, I'm relying on you, aha

She got rhythm but no sense of time and

She likes living but she got no friends

Operator, you've got to get me out of this mess

Let me tell you 'bout it

She ain't got a face

She ain't got a name

She ain't got a leg to stand upon

She is out of touch

But not out of mind

And I've got to see her again that gypsy child

Operator, this is the call of the wild

She's a hitchhiker, never gets a ride

You can bet she's on time

She's always around but so hard to find

She causes trouble

She never takes offence

Dirty mind, a heart of gold

Operator, don't, don't you put me on hold, oh no

She ain't got a face

She ain't got a name

She ain't got a leg to stand upon

She is out of touch

But not out of mind

And I've got to see her again that gypsy child

Operator, this is the call of the wild

She ain't got a face

She ain't got a name

She ain't got a leg to stand upon

She is out of touch

But not out of mind

And I've got to see her again that gypsy child

Operator, this is the call of the wild

She ain't got a face

She ain't got a name

She ain't got a leg to stand upon

She is out of touch

But not out of mind

She ain't got a face

She ain't got a name

She is out of touch

But not out of mind
