Lyrics

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 So why don't you leave her alone?" And the operator says, "Forty 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 Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's packing She's gonna be leaving today" Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's marrying A fella 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 just gotta talk to her I'll only keep her a while Please, Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her Goodbye Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's hurrying She's catching the nine o'clock train" Sylvia's mother says, "Take your umbrella 'Cause, Sylvia, it's starting to rain" And Sylvia's mother says, "Thank you for calling And sir, won't you call back again?" And the operator says, "Forty 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 Goodbye Goodbye
