I've got a little baby but she's out of sight
F Cdim C7
I talk to her across the telephone
C7
I've never seen ma honey but she's mine all right
C7 Bdim F
So take my tip and leave this gal alone
F
Ev'ry single morning you will hear me yell
D7 Gm
Hey Central fix me up along the line
Bb E7
He connects me with ma honey
F D7
Then I ring the bell
G7 C Bdim C7
And this is what I say to Baby Mine
F
Hello ma Baby
D7
Hello ma honey
G7
Hello ma ragtime gal
C7
Send me a kiss by wire
F E7 C7
Baby my heart's on fire
F
If you refuse me
D7
Honey you'll lose me
G7
Then you'll be left alone
C7
Oh baby telephone
F
And tell me I'm your own
Hello hello hello there
(repeat chorus)
C Bdim C7
F
This morning through the phone
she said her name was Bess
F Cdim C7
And now I kind of know where I am at
C7
I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address
C7 Bdim F
Here pasted in the lining of my hat
F
I am mighty scared
Cause if the wires get crossed
D7 Gn
Twill separate me from ma baby mine
Bb E7
Then some other guy will win her
F D7
And my game is lost
G7 C Bdim C7
And so each day I shout along the line
F
Hello ma Baby

Hello ma honey
G7
Hello ma ragtime gal

Send me a kiss by wire
F E7 C7
Baby my heart's on fire

If you refuse me

Then you'll be left alone
C7
Oh baby telephone

And tell me I'm your own
C Bdim C7 F
Hello hello hello there
