Of the a irfare o oh
Tell me w hy why why

Hoping and wishing for the mail to come
T uesday never got a word m mm.
W ednesday Thursday ain't no sign
Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
F riday woe is me
I'm g onna hang my body from the highest tree.
Why don't you w rite me?
Why don't you w rite me?
Why don't you w rite me?
