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
You call me on the telephone, you tell me that you're all alone
I know that you are lying through your teeth, you dirty rascal
How can you expect me to believe the lies you hand me?
You've been out with that blonde again, now do you understand?
You broke my heart and made me cry with every phony alibi
But I could see the lipstick on your shirt, you dirty polecat
Telephone, and tell me I'm your own
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
I'm sorry that I made you blue, it was a beastly thing to do
I shouldn't have upset you like I did with Lil the barmaid
If you take me back again, I'll never, never wander
Cause when I did, I found that absence made the heart go wild
So cross my heart and hope to die, I'll never tell another lie
I'll mend your broken heart as good as new, my little cough drop
Telephone, and tell me I'm your own
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, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Ivor, Ivor, so what's the problem here, what's the story?
Yeah, there's a whole song there, not one dirty word
What's going on here, what's the difference, what's the matter with you?
I'm sorry, no dirty words
Oh, bum, corsets, ladies busts, braziers, nudist camps
Gents, water closets, animals
