- Sylvia's Mother

Sylvia's Mother says, "Sylvia's busy,
Too busy to come to the phone."
Sylvia's Mother says, "Sylvia's leaving
To start a new life of her own."
And 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."
CHO:
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just want to talk to her.
I'll only keep her a while.
Please, Mrs. Avery, I just gotta tell her goodbye.

Sylvia's Mother says, "Sylvia's packing.
She's going to be leaving today."
Sylvia's Mother says, "Sylvia's marrying
A fella down Galveston way."
And 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."

CHO.

Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's hurrying.
She's catching the 9 o'clock train."
Sylvia's Mother says, "Take your umbrella,
'Cause, Sylvie, it's starting to rain."
And Sylvia's Mother says, "Thank you for calling."
And says, "Won't you call back again?"
And the operator says, "Forty cents more
For the next three minutes."

Here you go.
