I tried to call you on the telephone,

But every time I call there's no one home;

With each unanswered ring, I wonder where you've flown;

Trying to find VIRGINIA JONES.

 

I'd like to visit with you, talk awhile,

And swap trade secrets on piano styles;

But I can't reach you, so I wonder where you've flown;

Trying to find VIRGINIA JONES.

 

325-1425...have I got your number right?

489-9104...you can get me there for sure!

 

You said that I could call you anytime,

And yet I've missed you every time I've tried;

And every time I try, I wonder where you've flown;

Trying to find VIRGINIA JONES.
