Hello My Baby

Phish · Slip, Stitch, & Pass [1997]

Hello my baby, hello my honey

Hello my ragtime, summertime gal

Send me a kiss by wire, by wire

Baby, my heart's on fire, on fire

If you refuse me, honey, you lose me

And you'll be left alone, oh baby

Telephone, and tell me, tell me

Tell me I'm your very own, ohhhh



Hello my baby, hello my honey

Hello my ragtime, summertime gal

Send me a kiss by wire, by wire

Baby, my heart's on fire, on fire

If you refuse me, honey, you lose me

Then you'll be left alone, oh baby

Telephone, and tell me, tell me

Tell me I'm your very own

Tell me that I'm your own
