He connDects me with ma hDmoney, then AI rings the F#7bell,
And tB7his is what I say to baby mE7ine,

HELLO MY BABY

[Verse]

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

B E

I talk to her across the telephone.

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

E7 A

So take my tip and leave this gal alone.

Every single morning you will hear me yell,

A7 D

"Hey Central! Fix me up along the line."

D Dm A F#7

He connects me with ma honey, then I rings the bell,

B7 E7

And this is what I say to baby mine,

[chorus]

A B

Hello! ma baby, Hello! Ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal.

E7 A G# E7

Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!

A F# B7

If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone;

E E7 A

Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.

E A

Hello! Hello! Hello there.

This morning, through the phone, she said her name was Bess.

B E

And now I kind of know where I am at;

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

E7 A

Here, pasted in the lining of my hat.

I am mighty scared, 'Cause if the wires get crossed,

A7 D

'Twill separate me from ma baby mine,

D Dm A F#7

Then some other guy will win her, And my game is lost,

B7 E7

And so each day I shout along the line:

[chorus]

A B

Hello! ma baby, Hello! Ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal.

E7 A G# E7

Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!

A F# B7

If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone;

E E7 A

Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.

E A

Hello! Hello! Hello there.
