Lyrics:

I've been writin' Mary Lou letters every day

But I just found out lately how she throws them all away

She don't even bother to read the things I say

So I'm gonna write just one last time and I'll begin this way

I'll say oh dear wastebasket care of Mary Lou

If you see her say I need her like I'll always do

She won't read my letters now I write to you dear wastebasket care of Mary Lou

[ trumpet ]

No she don't even bother...
