Sylvia's Mother Lyrics - Bon Jovi

1 Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone

2 Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying, to start a new life of her own

3 Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy, so why don't you leave her alone

4 And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

5 Please Mrs. Avery I just got to talk to her

6 I'll only keep her a while

7 Please Mrs. Avery I just want to tell her

8 Goodbye

9 Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packing, she's going be leaving today

10 Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marrying, a fellow down Galveston-Way

11 Sylvia's mother says Please don't say nothing, to make her start crying and stay

12 And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

13 Please Mrs. Avery I just got to talk to her

14 I'll only keep her a while

15 Please Mrs. Avery I just want to tell her

16 Goodbye

17 Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurrying, she's catching the nine o'clock train

18 Sylvia's mother says Take your umbrella, cause Sylvia it's starting to rain

19 And Sylvia's mother says Thank you for calling and sir won't you come back again

20 And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

21 Please Mrs. Avery I just got to talk to her

22 I'll only keep her a while

23 Please Mrs. Avery I just want to tell her

24 Goodbye

25 Tell her goodbye

26 Please, tell her goodbye

27 Goodbye
