You say I O.K.ed
LONG DISTANCE?
O.K.ed it when?
My goodness, Central
That was then!
I\'m mad and disgusted
With that Negro now.
I don\'t pay no REVERSED
CHARGES nohow.
You say, I will pay it--
Else you\'ll take out my phone?
You better let
My phone alone.
I didn\'t ask him
To telephone me.
Roscoe knows darn well
LONG DISTANCE
Ain\'t free.
If I ever catch him,
Lawd, have pity!
Calling me up
From Kansas City.
Just to say he loves me!
I knowed that was so.
Why didn\'t he tell me some\'n
I don\'t know?
For instance, what can
Them other girls do
That Alberta K. Johnson
Can\'t do--and more, too?
What\'s that, Central?
You say you don\'t care
Nothing about my
Private affair?
Well, even less about your
PHONE BILL, does I care!
Un-humm-m! . . . Yes!
You say I gave my O.K.?
Well, that O.K. you may keep--
But I sure ain\'t gonna pay!
