They call me the Long Tall Shorty
'Cause I know what love is all about
They call me Long Tall Shorty
'Cause I know what love is all about

Dial 4-2-4-6-8-9
And your troubles will be over
I'll even give you back you dime

Oh yeah

I like 'em short, and that ain't all

Oh yeah
They call me Long Tall Shorty
'Cause I know what love is all about

They call me Long Tall Shorty
'Cause I know what love is all about
Well I can tell you where the lights go
Oh, when they go out
