Lyrics
Refrain
Hello, Frisco, hello
Hello, Frisco, hello
Don’t keep me waiting, it’s aggravating
Why can’t you hurry, Central, you’re so slow
Hello, now can you hear
You know I love you, dear
Your voice is like music to my ear
When I close my eyes you seem so near
Frisco, I called you up to say “Hello”
Refrain
Hello, New York, hello
(How do you do my dear
I only wish that you were here)
Hello, New York, hello
(How is the fair out there
They tell me that it is a bear)
Yes, dear I hear you, wish I were near you
Oh central won’t you please get off the wire
(I can hear you now, I can hear you now)
Hello, dearie, hello
(Dearie I’ve bought the ring
And I’ve arranged for everything)
You know I love you so
(We’ll be together soon
And then we’ll have a honeymoon)
Your voice is like music to my ear
When I close my eyes you seem so near
New York, I’m glad you called to say “Hello”
