(John Prine)
Dear Abby, dear Abby, my nose is too long
My hair's falling out and my rights are all wrong
My friends all tell me I've no friends at all
Won't you write me a letter, won't you give me a call
Signed, Unhappy
Chorus:
Unhappy, Unhappy, you have no complaint
You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't
So listen up buster and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood
Signed, Dear Abby
Dear Abby, Dear Abby, my fountain pen leaks
My wife screams at me, my kids are all freaks
Every side I get on is the wrong side of bed
If it wasn't so expensive I'd wish I was dead
Signed, Bewildered
Chorus: Bewildered, Bewildered, ...
Dear Abby, Dear Abby, you won't believe this
But my stomach makes noises whenever I kiss
My girlfriend tells me its all in my head
My stomach tells me to write you instead
Signed, Noise-maker
Chorus: Noise-maker, Noise-maker, ...
Dear Abby, Dear Abby, Who would have thought
Me and my girlfriend would ever get caught
We were sitting in the back seat, a hug and a squeeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
Signed, Just Married
Chorus: Just Married, Just Married, ...
Signed, Dear Abby
