Who Do I Call?



I had a little accident today; I hurt my tummy and my knee,
I needed it kissed better, and I need my mummy you see!

But my mummy went to heaven, when I was only three,
I didn't want her to go, because I needed her here with me!

So I tried to find my mummy, I need to phone her in heaven,
So I phoned the operator, cos I am only seven!

I told the operator, that I need to see my mum,
And told her that I fell down, and I had an aching tum.

'Can you find me the number?' I asked, 'because you see,
I need my mum to make it better; she has a magic kiss for me.

Tell me operator...Is it in this yellow book?
The telephone number to heaven, I can't find it when I look.

Operator are you there? Are you hurting too?
Is your mummy in heaven? Don't you know what to do?

Can I phone her in heaven? Do you think I will get through?
I really need my mummy, and I don't know what to do?

Oh, I found this piece of paper, pinned high upon this wall,
It's for my little church; I'm going to make a call.

My daddy always told me, my church would help me out,
And I can I say a prayer there, If ever I'm in doubt!

I think my daddy misses her?  And he can't find heaven for me!
He said that God took her away, when I was only three!

I sometimes see a tear, in my daddy's eye,
His face goes red and sad, and then he will start to cry.

Operator I'm going now, but I hope that you feel better,
And if heaven doesn't have a phone, try sending God a letter!'
