I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight
I talk to her across the telephone
I've never seen my honey, but she's mine, all right
So take my tip, and leave this gal alone!
Ev'ry single morning, you will hear me yell
Hey Central! Fix me up along the line
He connects me with my honey
Then I ring the bell
And this is what I say to Baby Mine

Hello! My Baby
Hello! My honey
Hello! My ragtime gal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone
Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I'm your own
Hello! Hello! Hello! There!

This morning, through the phone
She said her name was Bess
And now I kind of know where I am at
I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address
Here, pasted in the lining of my hat
I am mighty scared
'Cause if the wires get crossed
'Twill separate me from my baby mine
Then some other guy will win her
And my game is lost
And so each day I shout along the line

Hello! My Baby
Hello! My honey
Hello! My ragtime gal
Send me a kiss by wire
Baby, my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me
Honey, you'll lose me
Then you'll be left alone
Oh baby, telephone
And tell me I'm your own
Hello! Hello! Hello! There!
