I was hangin' out in Mexico, I had a beachfront bungalow I know I should have gone home, but I was doin' that Caribbean thing I was listenin' to a Spanish guitar, drinkin' margaritas under the stars With a pretty senorita when the telephone started to ring, guess who Chorus: Hello, honey, I was just about to Hello, baby, I was gettin' ready Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no Hello, if you give me just a minute Hello, don't you hang up till I'm finished Hello, you're the only one I've ever, you know Hello Well, there was silence at the end of the line I thought I'd give her till a quarter of nine I forgot to call her back and the party was a-rollin' at ten See, I was workin' on tequila and lime I guess I never even noticed the time I was dancin' the Iguana when the phone started ringin' again And you know who Chorus Chorus Hello, hello Hello, honey, I was just about to Hello, baby, I was gettin' ready Hello, don't you hang up till I'm finished Hello
