Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's busy
Too busy to come to the phone"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's trying
To start a new life of her own"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's happy now
Why don't you leave her alone?"
And the operator says:
"Forty cents more, for the next three minutes"
"Please Mrs. Avery, I've just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just want to tell her
Goodbye
Goodbye"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's packing
She's gonna be leaving today"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's marrying
A fellow down Galveston-Way"
Sylvia's mother says, "Please don't say nothing
To make her start crying and stay"
And the operator says:
"Forty cents more, for the next three minutes"
"Please Mrs. Avery, I've just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just want to tell her
Goodbye
Goodbye"
Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's hurrying
Catching the nine o'clock train"
Sylvia's mother says, "Take your umbrella
'Cause Sylvia, it's starting to rain"
Sylvia's mother says, "Thank you for calling
Sir, won't you call back again?"
And the operator says:
"Forty cents more for the next three minutes"
Please Mrs. Avery, I've just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just want to tell her
Goodbye
Goodbye
Please Mrs. Avery, I've just got to talk to her
