LYRICS

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 "Fourty cents more for the next three minutes" Please, Misses Avery, I just gotta talk to her, I only keep her a while. Please, Misses Avery, I just want to tell her goodbye. Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packin', she's gonna be leavin' today. Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marryin' a fellow down Galveston way. Sylvia's mother says "Please don't say nothin' to make her start cryin' and stay." And the operator says "Fourty cents more for the next three minutes" 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 "Fourty cents more for the next three minutes"
