Hello, my baby, hello, my honey, hello my ragtime gal (guy) G7 C G7
Send me a kiss by wire; baby my heart's on fire
If you refuse me, honey, you’ll lose me, then you’ll be left alone G7 C F C G7 (C)
you tell me that you're all alone
you dirty rascal
to believe the lies you hand me
you understand me
with every phoney alibi
you dirty polecat
I'm sorry that I made you blue, it was a beastly thing to do
ith Lil' the barmaid
made the heart grow fonder
I'll never tell another lie
my little cough-drop
loose the G7 and finish on the C
