Hello My Baby

A
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,

Refrão:
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.

        A
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:
