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
I´m gonna hang my body from the highest tree
Why don´t you write me?
Why don´t you write me?
Why don´t you write me?
Why don´t you write me?
Why don´t you write me?

Why don´t you write me?
Why don´t you write me?
