A 
Hello! Say
D 
listen,
A 
your mommy, she home?
D 
Please tell her there's somebody
on the telephone.
G 
Oh, you're the man who
phoned before.
She's in the boat.
A 
I'll call her through the door.
D 
But she can't come to the phone,
A 
I'm sure.
Ask her to speak to me,
D 
tell her it's quite important,
just go and see.
E 
Say you want something
from my mummy,
A 
each time she hears your ring,
she always says shh, tell him I'm not in.
D 
A 
But tell me, are you enjoying school?
Now I suppose you're
D 
learning the golden rule.
A 
G 
Oh yes, school's a  little way away
Cos mummy works
A 
and neighbours take me there each day
D 
Sometimes a friend's daddy calls for me
Cos I'm the one with no daddy, you see
A 
Oh tell her, it's been long
D 
Six years of loneliness
That's how old you are, I guess
A 
E 
Oh no, I'm only five
But you must have known
my mummy before
A 
She never told me your name though
Hold on, don't go

Each summer you go to Mossel Bay

The same old grand hotel there
Do you swim each day?

Oh yes, I'm a good swimmer,
I love the sand as well

But tell me, how do you know
D 
that we're in a hotel?
When did you see Marcel Bey?

Oh tell her, I need you
D 
I love the two of you
Yes, the two of you
Eb 
Love us too?

I've never set eyes on you
Is there something wrong?

You're talking differently
Oh don't cry, don't cry
