Song :
G
C
I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight,
D G
I talk to her across the telephone.
I've never seen my honey but she's mine all right,
G7 C
So take my tip and leave this gal alone.
Every single morning you will hear me yell,
C7 F
"Hey Central! Fix me up along the line."
F Fm C A7
He connects me with ma honey, then I rings the bell,
D7 G7
And this is what I say to baby mine,
Chorus
C
Hello! ma baby
A7
Hello! ma honey
D7
Hello! ma ragtime gal
G7
Send me a kiss by wire
C B
Baby, ma heart's on fire!
C
If you refuse me
A7
Honey, you'll lose me
D7
Then you'll be left alone
G7
Oh, baby, telephone
Gdim G7
And tell me I'm your own!
C F C G7
G C
Hello! Hello! Hello there.
C
This morning, through the phone,
she said her name was Bess.
D G
And now I kind of know where I am at;
I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address,
G7 C
Here, pasted in the lining of my hat.
I am mighty scared, 'Cause if the wires get crossed,
C7 F
'Twill separate me from ma baby mine,
F Fm C A7
Then some other guy will win her, And my game is lost,
D7 G7
And so each day I shout along the line:
C
Hello! ma baby
A7
Hello! ma honey
D7
Hello! ma ragtime gal
G7
Send me a kiss by wire
C B
Baby, ma heart's on fire!
C
If you refuse me
A7
Honey, you'll lose me
D7
Then you'll be left alone
G7
Oh, baby, telephone
Gdim G7
And tell me I'm your own!
C F C
