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-oo-oo-oo
La la la

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 air fare ooo
Tell my 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-ee-ee-ee
La la la
Why don’t you write
Out in the jungle
Oh woe is me
(Yeah)

Send me a card
I am waiting so hard
That I climbed the highest tree-ee-ee
Why don’t you write me
Why don’t you write me
Why don’t you write me
Why don’t you write me
