Performed by Freddy Martin, Bob Haymes

Written by Captain Arthur V. Jones, Frank Loesser

Hello mom, I thought I'd phone tonight
I've got so much to tell, I made my solo flight
They say I'm doing swell
I wish that you were here to see
Listen Mom, remember Sally Lou?
The girl who lives next door
Find out exactly who
She's really waiting for
I sorta kinda hope it's me

Sure Mom, the food is mighty good
And lately we got a raise in pay
And the bonds that you're buying
That are keepin' us flyin'
Makes the whole darn thing okay

So long Mom, I do a lot of things
You really don't expect
I hope that dad won't mind I called collect
But I just had to say, "Hello Mom"

Sure Mom, the food is mighty good
And lately we got a raise in pay
And the bonds that you're buying
That are keepin' us flyin'
Makes the whole darn thing okay

So long Mom, I do a lot of things
You really don't expect
I hope that dad won't mind I called collect
But I just had to say, "Hello Mom"
