Al Jolson Hello Central, Give Me No Man's Land
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"
