I used to live in a telephone booth.
A telephone booth, and that's the truth.
Sister Sue came by one day and said. "Come out and play!"
I said "No come on in and bring your jump rope too."
There's plenty of room for jumping rope with me and sister Sue,
Plenty of room for everyone, plenty of room for you.
We jumped rope until 2:00, at 2:00 we heard a knock. *knock knock*
It was Bruno with a deck of cards,
Holding his both his saint bernards,
Bruno voice: "I come to play a game of gin, come out."
"No you come in! "woof" There's plenty of room for playing cards."
Bruno: "Plenty of room for saint bernards."
Plenty of room for jumping rope with me and sister Sue.
Plenty of room for everyone, plenty of room for you.
We barely played 3 hands or 4, when at the door we heard a roar.
Singing in harmony: "Ahhhhh" The county choir stretched before us,
Singing the hallelujah chorus
100 voices booming out.
(Sing) "Hallelujah" "Well come on in!" I shout.
There's plenty of room for singing Bach.
(Singing voices men and women in harmony)
"This old booth getting really hot."
There's plenty of room for playing cards."
Bruno: "Plenty of room for saint bernards."
Plenty of room for jumping rope with me and sister Sue.
Plenty of room for everyone, plenty of room for you.
We were singing and swaying arm in
Arm when Bruno pulled the fire alarm.
Bruno: "Uh oh" Three fire trucks came in looking for a fire,
Drove in among the choir. 2 hooking ladders,
And a pumper jammed in bumper to bum-per (honk honk)
Plenty of room to run your hose, (plug nose and talk like the fireman)
"Are you ready, up she goes."
Plenty of room for singing Bach.
(Singing voices men and women in harmony)
"This old booth getting really hot."
There's plenty of room for playing cards."
Bruno: "Plenty of room for saint bernards."
And plenty of room for jumping rope with me and sister Sue.
Plenty of room for everyone, plenty of room for you.
Then out of a Telephone Company Van, stepped a Telephone Company man.
He grabbed his tools rolled up his
Sleeves; (in Telephone Co. man impression)
"I have come to fix the phone. Everyone will have to leave.
I gotta hear the dial-tone..." Bruno: "not fair." Choir: "Aweeeee"
Back those trucks, roll that hose.
Firemen: "stop that choir, watch you toes"
Pack your music in a pile:
Singing: "Follow rows, in single file."
"Bruno, put away the cards!" Bruno:
"Well, Help me catch my saint Bernards."
Lets find somewhere else to play, a tree-house would be great,
A closet, or a thicket, or a refrigerator crate.
Cause all of hem have plenty of room for me and Sister sue.
Plenty of room for everyone,
(Choir joins in this line only) Plenty of room for you.
And if your in the neighborhood with nothing much to do,
Well do't be shy, just drop on by, there's plenty of room,
(Choir sings next three words)
Plenty of room, plenty of room for you!
