Ah, I think I've had enough, you know, religion's
tough
It's a state of mind I don't need
I'm sending a letter to my mother
I need some loving, send it to me
I lost my lover, unfaithful lover
I need some money, send it to me
I need consoling, your boy feeling lonely
Please try to phone me, send it to me
Send it to me, send it to me
Send it to me, send it to me
If she can't travel, I can take the mule train
I can take the aeroplane, send her to me
And I'm begging you, begging you, begging you
Down on my knees
Baby please, please, baby please
You, you, you've got to send her, send her,
send her
Send her to me
Send her
Oh send her to me
You've got to send it, send it to me
Send it to me, send it to me
Yeah, I'm sending in a letter to my sister
In Australia, sister Marie
Ain't you got no doctor, no second cousin
That needs my loving? Send her to me
Send it to me, send it to me
Send it to me, send it to me
She won't have to wash or scrape, she won't
have to relocate
I guarantee her personal security
She don't have to be 5 foot 10 or a blond
or brunette
She don't have to be no social hostess, send
her
She may work in a factory right next door to
me
In my fantasy, send her to me
Send her to me, send her to me
Send her to me, send her to me
She could be Rumanian, she could be Bulgarian
She could be Albanian, she could be Hungarian
She might be Ukrainian, she could be Australian
She could be the alien, send her to me
Send it to me, send it to me (you got to send it, you got to send it)
Send it to me, send it to me (you got to send it)

I did it with Charlie very early on... That was
a good example of one, you know, we tried in all kinds of different ways,
different times.

I remember it being very, very long (laughs),
about 12 minutes long. I had to chop it down to whatever it ended up being.
I think, in the 12-minute version, there were like 19 or 20 verses and
we just picked the last verses out and chopped it all together.
