Why don't you write me,
|
I'm out in the jungle,
|
I'm hungry to hear you.
|
Send me a card,
|
I am waiting so hard
|
To be near you.
|
(La, la, la)
|
Why don't you write?
|
Something is wrong
|
And I know I got to be there.
|
Maybe I'm lost,
|
But I can't make the cost
|
Of the airfare.
|
Tell me why
|
Why
|
Why
|
Tell me why
|
Why
|
Why
|
Why don't you write me,
|
A letter would brighten
|
My loneliest evening.
|
Mail it today
|
If it's only to say
|
That you're leaving me.
|
(La, la, la)
|
Monday morning, sitting in the sun
|
Hoping 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 me
|
Gonna hang my body from the highest
|
tree.
|
Why don't you write me?
