Answer 1

And another poor orphan on tiptoe at the railroad station ticket window:
Give me a ticket to Heaven, please.
That's where Dad's gone, they say.
He'll be so lonely without me
Travelling all that way.
My mother died when I was born, Sir.
And left Dad and me all alone.
So give me a ticket to Heaven, please,
Before the last train has gone.

Answer 2

Thats from an old Edwardian music-hall ballad called "I Want to Telephone to Mother Dear" in which a waif makes his first phone call, presumably to the operator:

I want to telephone to Mother Dear.
She's somewhere in the sky so high.
She's been gone such a long, long while.
You don't know how I miss her loving smile.
I can't tell you what her number is,
But it's somewhere in the sky.
I want to hear
Her voice so dear
As I used to in the days gone by.

And another poor orphan on tiptoe at the railroad station ticket window:

Give me a ticket to Heaven, please.
That's where Dad's gone, they say.
He'll be so lonely without me
Travelling all that way.
My mother died when I was born, Sir.
And left Dad and me all alone.
So give me a ticket to Heaven, please,
Before the last train has gone.
