Central Hello! Hello!
Give me one nine eight o
is this you Mary my own?
Yes, this is I all right
What! you'll be up tonight
Well then I'll not be at home
You've not been good to me,
Not as a boy should be
You've got another sweetheart.
I saw you hold her hand
Want you to understand
We've got good reason to part.

Take the flow'rs from the bees,
and you never have honey,
Hide the sun
and you'll never have light.
With the clouds in the skies
it can never be sunny
Ev'ry day will be gloomy as night.
Take the water away
from the deep rolling ocean
and the fish couldn't live there you see,
If you give all your lovin's
to some other girlie
then you can't expect kisses from me.

Take the flow'rs from the bees,
and you never have honey,
Hide the sun
and you'll never have light.
With the clouds in the skies
it can never be sunny
Ev'ry day will be gloomy as night.
Take the water away
from the deep rolling ocean
and the fish couldn't live there you see,
If you give all your lovin's
to some other girlie
then you can't expect kisses from me.

Mary Hello! Hello!
One word before you go
Listen and I will explain.
Tall girl with me last night,
blonde hair and eyes so bright?
That was my cousin from Maine
Billy don't try to stall,
T'wasn't last night at all
I saw you kissing your pet,
Monday night after dark,
I saw you in the park
squeezing a little brunette.

Take the flow'rs from the bees,
and you never have honey,
Hide the sun
and you'll never have light.
With the clouds in the skies
it can never be sunny
Ev'ry day will be gloomy as night.
Take the water away
from the deep rolling ocean
and the fish couldn't live there you see,
If you give all your lovin's
to some other girlie
then you can't expect kisses from me.

Take the flow'rs from the bees,
and you never have honey,
Hide the sun
and you'll never have light.
With the clouds in the skies
it can never be sunny
Ev'ry day will be gloomy as night.
Take the water away
from the deep rolling ocean
and the fish couldn't live there you see,
If you give all your lovin's
to some other girlie
then you can't expect kisses from me.
