VERSE 01: When the gray shadows creep,/And the world is asleep,/In the still of the night,/Baby creeps down a flight./First she looks all around,/Without making a sound;/Then baby toddles up to the telephone,/And whispers in a baby tone: CHORUS: “Hello Central give me No Man’s Land,/My daddy’s there, my mama told me;/She tiptoed off to bed,/After my pray’rs were said,/Don’t ring when you get my number,/Or you’ll disturb, mamma’s slumber./I’m afraid to stand here at the ‘phone,/’Cause I’m alone,/So won’t you hurry;/I want to know why mamma starts to weep,/When I say, ‘now I lay me down to sleep,’/Hello Central give me No Man’s Land.” VERSE 02: Through the curtains of night,/Comes a beautiful light,/And the sunshine that beams,/Finds a baby in dreams./Mama looks in to see,/Where her darling can be;/She finds her baby still in her slumber deep,/A whisp’ring while she’s fast asleep: | |
