Here's a Zorin-approved revision, I hope. All hail the picky-as-fuck rotary-phone diehard! :)

A 1966 song, written by Steve Cropper and Eddie "Knock on Wood" Floyd, one of the early Memphis recordings done by the Wicked (or Wicket, for those cricket fans having a bout of tinnitus) Wilson Pickett with some of the the Stax Records house musicians. This paragraph is Under Construction.

It inspired other such song titles in later decades, including The Time's "777-9311" (written by The Artist Formerly Pseudonymously Known as Jamie Starr), Squeeze's "853-5937", and that Tommy Tutone chestnut, "867-5309".


If you need a little loving call on me
If you want a little hugging call on me
You know I'll be right here at home
All you got to do is pick up your telephone
And dial now 634-5789
634-5789

If you need a little kissing call on me
If good love is what you've been missing, girl, call on me
No more lonely nights will you be at home
All you got to do is pick up your telephone
And dial now 634-5789
634-5789

    I'll be right there girl just as soon as I can
    But if I'm just a little bit late
    I hope you'll understand
I'll be right there baby just as soon as I can
But if I'm just a little bit late
I hope you'll understand
Call me at 634-5789
