THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Operators Are Standing By

Operators are standing by

Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee

Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet

And wish they could go home



Operators are standing by

Poking holes in the ceiling tiles

Making jokes about their old boyfriends



Operators are standing by

Talking about their portrayal

On T. V. where an actress sits

With a headset in outer space



That's enough talking, ladies



Operators are standing by

Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee

Pass round the picture of a Mobius Strip

And wish they could go home



And wish they could go home
