[Verse 1] 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; The 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 mamma told me; She tip-toed 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 2] From the shadows of night, Comes a beautiful light, And the sunshine that beams, Finds a baby in dreams. Mamma 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. [Outro] "Hello Central... Give me No Man's Land."
