Hello central, what´s the matter with this line?
I wanna talk to that high brown of mine
Tell me how long will I have to wait
Please give me two ninety eight, why do you hesitate?

Oh, what you say, can´t talk to my brown?
A storm last night blowed the wires all down
Now, tell me how long will I have to wait
Oh, won´t you tell me now, why do you hesitate?

Say, Sunday night, my beau proposed to me
Said, he´d be happy if his wife I´d be
Said he, "How long, baby, will I have to wait?"
Come be my wife, my Kate, why do you hesitate?

Say, I declined him, it was just for a stall
He left that night on the cannonball
Honey, oh honey, how long, will I have to wait?
Oh, won´t you tell me now, baby, why do you hesitate?
