2-6-5-8-0

[Verse 1]

I watch a man sitting down the park

The flashy suit manufactured by the makers

He's got a pen and he circles an ad

It makes him laugh 'cos he's reading dirty papers

2-6-5-8-0

[Verse 2]

She doesn't know but she's getting his call

He's talking straight but he wants it in a strange way

She combs her hair doesn't worry at all

He could be mad but its just another pay day

[Chorus]

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me

[Verse 3]

She likes to live on the poor side of town

She's shacking down with a guy from West Guyana

The boys around always look at the ground

Oh, what they'd give for a night with that piranha

[Chorus]

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me

[Bridge]

She doesn't have to make her money that way

She's such a pretty young girl

I guess they love it 'cos you hear when they stay

They cry oh, oh, oh

[Verse 4]

This guy arrives looking scared as a rat

He needs her love but he wants it like a brother

Three hours later he crawls out on his knees

She's laughing loud 'cos he's calling for his mother

[Chorus]

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0

2-6-5-8-0 Oh, dial it if you wanna know me

[Outro]

(2-6-5-8-0)

(2-6-5-8-0)

(2-6-5-8-0)

Oh! 2-6-5-8-0 (what's your number?)

2-6-5-8-0 (oh I gotta hear it now)

2-6-5-8-0 Ohhhh..... dial it if you wanna know me
