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

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

Sylvia's mother says
Sylvia's packing, she's going 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

CHORUS

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 come back again
And the operator says
Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

CHORUS

Tell her goodbye
Please, tell her goodbye
Goodbye
