When I'm lost and lonely
When I'm away from home
I think about those numbers
And pick up a telephone

I know my name and address
My telephone number too!
I know my street and city
Cause nothing else will do
I know my Momma and Daddy's name
I can spell mine all the way through
If I'm lost I tell someone
And get them to help me too

Now if you don't have a nickel
And you don't have a dime
Dial "0" for operator
Get someone on the line
Tell them you're in trouble
And you won't have to pay
But don't wait and don't you worry
Because help is on the way (repeat)

I know my name and address
My telephone number too
I know my street and city
And I know what to do
When I'm lost or lonely
When I'm away from home
I think about those numbers
And pick up a telephone
I think about those numbers
And pick up a telephone
