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:
