Connie And Val Lyrics - Patty Griffin

Down at the switchboard of the old Tell N' Tale 

They got some fascinating stories to tell 

Connie and Val nice old gals 

Minding the back of the store for 30 years or more 

Hey Val do you remember that girl back in '72? 

She looked like Cher sure took some getting used to 

She was working here all summer and going to college 

Yeah they musta been teaching her 

some funny kinda knowledge 

She was a nice enough girl 

took a trip around the world 

I don't remember her name though 

Hey Val do you know?

Yeah, well honey the switchboard 

Beats going to double features 

You get to talking to some interesting creatures 

Yeah Connie and Val coupla nice old gals 

They like to take a little sherry 

With the obituary 

Hey Val do you remember that girl 

who's ex-husband was a stalker? 

That was the summer we had that punk rocker 

Oh boy, what a crazy summer that was 

Yes she wore a dog collar and some pink and blue fuzz 

They were nice enough though 

I wonder where did they go 

And if that girl is still singing 

Hey Val, that line is ringing 

Down at the switchboard of the old Tell N'Tale 

They got some fascinating stories to tell 

Don't ever let 'em tell ya that their job is hell 

Cause pretty soon it'll all be automated well 

You remember that girl used to make us all lunch 

Used to make us all laugh and called us honeybunch 

Then she moved the whole family way back to Idaho 

Well I surely did hate to see that girl go 

Connie and Val nice old gals 

They've seen a few wars but they're still pals 

And they had a few babies 

Smoked a million cigarettes 

They don't need no one to help em 

when they're placing a bet 

Oh Connie and Val 

Connie and Val 

30 long years same locale 

oh Connie and Val 

Oh yes Connie and Val 

Nice old gals that Connie and Val
