there's a girl Ive just
got to hear from
I wrote her a letter
and when she gets it I
know she'll answer it
I'll be feelin much better

and when she gets it I
know she'll answer it
that's the way that I wrote it
so ride your pony and 
take my letter here
I'll be lookin' and hopin' for

[repeat chorus]


If only you'd deliver it
the letter I deliver it 
the letter I deliver it 
the letter I write
the letter I write
