Hello Central Give Me No Man's Land - Al Jolson

When the gray shadows creep

And the world is asleep

In the still of the night

Baby climbs 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

«Hello, Central, give me No Man’s Land

My Daddy’s there, my Mama told me;

She tip-toed off to bed

After my prayers were said;

Don’t ring when you get the number

Or you’ll disturb Mama’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 Mama starts to weep

When I say, 'Now I lay me down to sleep'

Hello, Central, give me No Man’s Land"

«Hello, Central, give me No Man’s Land

My Daddy’s there, my Mama told me;

She tip-toed off to bed

After my prayers were said;

Don’t ring when you get the number

Or you’ll disturb Mama’s slumber

I’m afraid to stand here at the 'phone

'Cause I’m alone

So won’t you hurry;

When I say, 'Now I lay me down to sleep'

Hello, Central, give me No Man’s Land"
