Why Don'T You Write Me

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 Why don't you write? Something is wrong And I know I got to be there, yeah Maybe I'm lost But I can't make the cost of the airfare Tell me why? Why? Tell me 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 Monday morning, sitting in the sun Hoping and wishing for the mail to come Tuesday, never got a word Wednesday and 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?
