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 speaking, won't you call her for me please,
for I surely want to tell her that we're sad without her here.

Poppa, dear, is said and lonely, sobbed the tearful little child,
since momma's gone to heaven, Poppa, dear, you do not smile.

I will 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.
