Paroles
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's busy
Too busy to come to the phone"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's tryin'
To start a new life of her own"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's happy
So why don't you leave her alone?"
And the operator says, "40 cents more
For the next three minutes"
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her awhile
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's packin'
She's gonna be leavin' today"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's marryin'
A fella down Galveston way"
Sylvia's mother says, "Please don't say nothin'
To make her start cryin' and stay"
And the operator says, "40 cents more
For the next three minutes"
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her awhile
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's hurryin'
She's catchin' the nine o'clock train"
Sylvia's mother says, "Take your umbrella
'Cause Sylvie, it's startin' to rain"
And Sylvia's mother says, "Thank you for callin'
And sir, won't you call back again?"
And the operator says, "40 cents more
For the next three minutes"
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Tell her goodbye
Please, tell her goodbye
