lyrics

WON’T YOU PUT ME BACK ON YOUR MAILING LIST
by Scott Nielsen

The postman comes walkin’ up
To my front door
He dumped a big load of mail
Through the slot onto the floor
Those little window envelopes
The ones I hate to see
The ads in catalogs
And things that weren’t addressed to me
They were for the occupant
Or the resident
I don’t know who
But the one that wasn’t there was a letter from you

Chorus
Won’t you put me back
On your mailin’ list
Drop me a line
So I know I exist
I’ll send a self-addressed envelope
I’ll put the stamp on too
If a letter’s too much trouble
Hey, a postcard’ll do
Just a little note so
I know I’ve been missed
Won’t you put me back
On your mailin’ list

Registered and certified letters
Give me such a fright
But a little note from you
You know would fill me with delight
Maybe you forgot my zip code
Or you don’t know what to say
Perhaps you’ve been so busy
You’re waitin’ for a rainy day
Or maybe you’ve been saving ‘em up
I don’t care if they come late
Bundle ‘em all together
You can send them out bulk rate

Repeat chorus

Won’t you put me back on your mailin’ list

about

Scott Nielsen Bordentown, New Jersey

"I'm a 50's rocker and never was told how to grow up and when to grow old . . ." to quote one of my tunes and it sums me up pretty well. I have been writing songs since the early 60's. In the 70's I wrote children's songs for Captain Kangaroo. I have been a writer and publisher ASCAP member since 1973.

I write across several genres: country, rock and adult alternative.
