Hello! Ma Baby

I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight

I talk to her across the telephone

I've never seen my honey, but she's mine, all right

So take my tip, and leave this gal alone!

Ev'ry single morning, you will hear me yell

Hey Central! Fix me up along the line

He connects me with my honey

Then I ring the bell

And this is what I say to Baby Mine

Hello! My Baby

Hello! My honey

Hello! My ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire

Baby, my heart's on fire!

If you refuse me

Honey, you'll lose me

Then you'll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone

And tell me I'm your own

Hello! Hello! Hello! There!

This morning, through the phone

She said her name was Bess

And now I kind of know where I am at

I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address

Here, pasted in the lining of my hat

I am mighty scared

'Cause if the wires get crossed

'Twill separate me from my baby mine

Then some other guy will win her

And my game is lost

And so each day I shout along the line

Hello! My Baby

Hello! My honey

Hello! My ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire

Baby, my heart's on fire!

If you refuse me

Honey, you'll lose me

Then you'll be left alone

Oh baby, telephone

And tell me I'm your own

Hello! Hello! Hello! There!
