Sylvia's Mother (Dr Hook)

Seq by Chris Hankins\Kar by John

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
"forty cents more for the next three minutes"
Please Mrs. Avery I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her awhile
Please Mrs. Avery I just wanna tell 'er goodbye
Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's packin'"
"She's gonna be leavin' today"
Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's marryin'"
"A fella down Galveston way"
Sylvia's mother says "Please don't say nothin'"
"To make her start cryin' 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 awhile
Please Mrs. Avery I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

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"
Sylvia's mother says "thank you for callin'"
"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 awhile
Please Mrs. Avery I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

Tell her goodbye
