A                                                            E 
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone 
                                                                A 
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying to start a new life of her own. 
D                     A 
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy... 
    E                       A 
So why don't you leave her alone? 
        E                     
And the operator says: 'Forty cents more, for the next three minutes.' 

D A Please Mrs. Adria, I've just got to talk to her E A I'll only keep her a while D A Please Mrs. Adria, just want to tell her E Goodbye...
A E Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packing, she's going to be leaving today. A Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marrying, a fellow down Galveston-Way D A Sylvia's mother says 'Please don't say nothing... E A To make her start crying and stay.' E And the operator says: 'Forty cents more, for the next three minutes.' (Chorus) A E Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurrying, she's catching the nine o'clock train. A Sylvia's mother says: 'Take your umbrella, cause Sylvia it's starting to rain.' D A And Sylvia's mother says 'Thank you for calling... E A And so won't you come back again.' E And the operator says: 'Forty cents more, for the next three minutes.' (Chorus) Tell her goodbye Please, tell her goodbye Goodbye ...
