A Real Good Time By Jim Stafford 7/30/2011 E I just got into town and I didn't have nothing to do A When I happened upon this telephone booth B7 E B7 E With a whole bunch of writing covering one entire wall E It said if you ain't afraid to spend a dime A And if you want to have a real good time B7 E B E Just give Lucille a call Underneath her name was this big long list It said she'd do that and she'd do this Well I let my fingers do the walking through all kinds of stuff I've missed I shuffled through my pockets and I found myself a dime I heard a ring or two and I got her on the line And I said Lucille, I'd like to have a real good time Chorus: B7 E Might have found a lover, might have made a new friend F# B7 Well I ain't had a real good time since I don't know when She said who are you and what is this I said this is Jim, Lucille and its about this list Which I began to read with particular emphasis All my favorite numbers 1, 5, 11, 14, 22, 33 and 41 through 59 She said where are you and I gave her the street You sound like the kind of man I'd just love to meet Stay right where you are and I promise you a real good time Chorus 'Bout fifteen minutes after my arrest In the middle of a question, I tried to protest That I wasn't that phantom obscene phone caller or master of crime Well they took me away and allowed me one call And I recalled that number on the phone booth wall And I said Lucille, me and you got an altogether different idea about a real good time! Chorus 2: I lost my lover, I lost my new friend well you can't have a real good time doing one to ten (doing one to ten) A Real Good Time By Jim Stafford 7/30/2011 E I just got into town and I didn't have nothing to do A When I happened upon this telephone booth
