dr hook the medicine show - sylvia's mother lyrics
(shel silverstein)
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 a while
please mrs. avery, i just wanna tell her 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 a while
please mrs. avery, i just wanna tell her 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
and 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 a while
please mrs. avery, i just wanna tell her goodbye
tell her goodbye…
please… tell her goodbye..
