Why Don't You Write Me?
Why don't you write meI'm out in the jungleI'm hungry to hear you.Send me a card,I am waiting so hardTo be near you.(La, la, la)Why don't you write?Something is wrongAnd I know I got to be there.Maybe I'm lost,But I can't make the costOf the airfare.Tell me whyWhyWhyTell me whyWhyWhy
Why don't you write me,A letter would brightenMy loneliest evening.Mail it todayIf it's only to sayThat you're leaving me.(La, la, la)
Monday morning, sitting in the sunHoping and wishing for the mail to come.Tuesday, never got a word,Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign,Drank a half a bottle of iodine.Friday, woe is meGonna hang my body from the highest tree.Why don't you write me?
