* Verse 1 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, "40 cents more
For the next 3 minutes."
* Chorus Please, Mrs. Avery I just got to talk to her.
I'll only keep her a while.
Please, Mrs. Avery I just want to tell her goodbye.
* Verse 2 Sylvia's mother says, "Sylvia's packing,
She's gon' 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, "40 cents more
For the next 3 minutes."
* Repeat chorus
* Verse 3 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 sir, won't you come back again?"
And the operator says, "40 cents more
For the next 3 minutes."
* Repeat chorus

Please, tell her goodbye.
