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 
Something is wrong and I know I got a feelin' 
Maybe I'm lost but I can't make the cost of the airfare 
Tell me why, tell me 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 
Why don't you write 

Monday morning sitting in the sun 
Hopin' and wishin' that the mail would come 
Tuesday I 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
