DEAR ABBY
John Prine


Dear Abby, Dear Abby, my feet are too long
My hair's fallin' out and my rights are all
wrong
My friends they all tell me are no friends at
all
Won't you write me a letter, won't you give
me a call
Signed, Bewildered

Chorus:
Bewildered, Bewildered, 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 wishin' for bad luck and knockin' on
wood

Dear Abby, Dear Abby my fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all
freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of
bed
If it weren't so expensive, I'd wish I were
dead
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 wishin' for bad luck and knockin' on
wood.....

Dear Abby, Dear Abby you won't believe this
But my stomach makes noises whenever I kiss
My girlfriend tells me it's all in my head
But my stomach just tells me to write you
instead
Signed, Noise-maker

Chorus:
Noise-maker, Noise-maker, 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 wishin' for bad luck and knockin' on
wood.....

Dear Abby, Dear Abby well I never thought
That me and my girlfriend would ever get
caught
We were sittin' in the back seat just
shootin' the breeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to
her knees
Signed, Just Married

Chorus:
Just Married, Just Married 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 wishin' for bad luck and knockin' on
wood

Sig-ned......Dear Abby
