# Here's another great Dr. Hook song which I thought was missing here.
# I got it from the '*.pro' - song base

# http://www.nada.kth.se:80/~f91-jsc/guitar (<- that's where the credit goes...)
#
# (quite an interesting site since it is not an exact mirror of this place)
# and took the freedom to upload it here.

{t:Sylvia's Mother}
{st:Dr.Hook}
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 :" Fourty cents more, for the next three minutes."
{C:chorus}
{soc}
Please Mrs. Adria, I've just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Adria, just want to tell her
Goodbye...
{eoc}
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packing, she's goin' to 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 :" Fourty cents more, for the next three minutes."
{C: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 so won't you come back again."
And the operator says :" Fourty cents more, for the next three minutes."
{C:chorus}
Tell her goodbye
Please, tell her goodbye
Goodbye......
