Well I wonder, I wonder, every place I go
Yeah you know I just wonder, I wonder, every place I go
My letter's gone dead, and my pencil it won't write no more

Sometime I wonder why she put me out of doors (I don't like that one)
Yeah sometime I wonder why she put me out of doors
Well you know my letter's gone dead, and my pencil it won't write no more

Anybody ask you, why did I punch you in your nose
Yeah you know if anybody ask you, why did I punch you in your nose
Well you know my letter's gone dead, and my pencil it won't write no more

I went to buy some ink, but they don't keep it no more in the stores
Yeah you know I went to buy myself some ink, but they don't keep it no more in the stores
Well you know my letter's gone dead, and my pencil it won't write no more
