Why Don'T You Write Me

(Simon) 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
