Hello Central, Give Me No Man’s Land Lyrics by Al Jolson

Songs of WW1

1918

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;
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"
