Hello central, what′s the matter with this line?
I want to talk to that high brown of mine
Tell me how long will I have to wait?
Please give me two ninety eight
Why do you hesitate?
Oh what you say? Can't talk to my brown?
A storm last night blowed the wires all down
Now tell me how long will I have to wait?
Oh won′t you tell me now, why do you hesitate?
Say, Sunday night my beau proposed to me
Said he'd be happy if his wife I'd be
Said he, "How long, baby, will I have to wait?
Come be my wife, my Kate
Why do you hesitate?"
Say, I declined him, it was just for a stall
He left that night on the cannonball
Honey, oh honey, how long will I have to wait?
Oh won′t you tell me now, baby, why do you hesitate?
