Matchbox - Buzz buzz a diddle it 1980

Matchbox - Buzz buzz a diddle it 1980

(Instrumental)

Well, I was rollin' down the highway
To see my baby Ruth
Car broke down, tire blew out
Found a telephone booth




I tried to call my honey
What was the sound I had to hear?
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it) In my ear?
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)

Yeah, it's some endless yackin' hound dog
Obviously talkin'to my dear
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)

Central seven, who's on that line?
Break through to my baby
3-0-9-3-9
Oh, S.O.S. sweet mama
Switch me to heaven, get me through
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)

Telephone, operator
My lovin' future hangs on you
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
Hang on!

(Instrumental)

Central seven, who's on that line?
Break through to my baby
3-0-9-3-9
Oh, S.O.S. sweet mama
Switch me to heaven, get me through
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)

Telephone, operator
My lovin' future hangs on you
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)
(Buzz buzz a-diddle-it)

@funkstagazza ..... who are you and your friends that wanted to keep Rockabilly underground?. Live is full of people like you

[simonnott]

@funkstagazza well this song and Rockabilly Rebel got this 15 year old into it back then, and this week I interviewed WS Holland, JM Van Eaton and Ace Cannon, I'm still loving rockabilly, and this too.

I remember when I was a child and a Matchbox fan I was allowed to stay up and see them in German Musikladen!

[VelvetViolator]

@mfj007 There was a German Rockabilly band called The Spider Murphy Gang. They also had a hit tune ("Skandal im Sperrbezirk" aka "Scandal in the restricted area") w/ a phone number in it and every body tried to call it. :-)
