Lyrics:

Hello, central, give me heaven
For I know my mother's there
And you'll find her with the angels
Over on the golden stair

She'll be glad it's me a-speakin'
Won't you call her for me please
For I surely want to tell her
That we're sad without her here

Hello, central, give me heaven
For I know my mother's there
And you'll find her with the angels
Over on the golden stair
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

Papa dear is sad and lonely
Sobbed a tearful little child
Since mama's gone to heaven
Papa dear, you do not smile
I must speak to her and tell her
That we want her to come home
You just listen while I call her
Call her through the telephone

Hello, central, give me heaven
For I know my mother's there
And you'll find her with the angels
Over on the golden stair
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

I will answer just to please her
Yes, dear hearts, I'll soon come home
Kiss me, mama, it's your daughter
Kiss me through the telephone
