intro - baritone sax 6-note lick, then...
(Return to sender. Return to sender.)
verse 1
I gave a letter to the postman, he put it in his sack.
Bright and early next morning, he brought my letter back.
chorus
He wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
verse 2
So then I dropped it in the mailbox and sent it special D.
Bright and early next morning it came right back to me.
chorus
He wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.
bridge
This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day then I'll understand...
chorus
... the writing on it.
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
outro
Return to sender. Return to sender. Return to sender.
No such zone.
