Dear, I thought I’d drop a line
The weather’s cool, the folks are fine
I’m in bed each night at nine
PS I love you

Yesterday we had some rain
But all in all, I can’t complain
Was it dusty on the train?
PS I love you

Write to the Browns 
Just as soon as you’re able
They came around to call
I burned a hole in the dining room table
Now let me see, I guess that’s all

Nothing else for me to say
And so I’ll close now but, by the way
Everybody’s thinking of you
PS I love you

Write to the Browns
Just as soon as you’re able
They came around to call
Oh yes, I burned a hole in the dining room table
Now let me see, I guess that’s all

Nothing else for me to say
And so I’ll close but darling, by the way
Everybody’s thinking of you
PS I love you

What is there to write?
What is there to say?
Same things happen every day!
Not a thing to write,
Not a thing to say,
So I take my pen in hand and syart
The same old way!

Dear, I thought I’d drop a line,
The weather’s cool, the folks are fine.
I’m in bed each night at nine,
PS, I love you!

Yesterday we had some rain,
But all in all I can’t complain.
Was it dusty on the train?
PS, I love you!

Write to the Browns just as soon as you’re able,
They came around to call,
I burned a hole in the dining room table,
And let me see, I guess that’s all.

Nothing else for me to say,
And so I’ll close, but by the way,
Everybody’s thinking of you,
PS, I love you!

I do my best to obey all your wishes,
I put a sign up, "Think!".
But I gotta buy a new set of dishes,
Or wash the ones thar are piled in the sink!

Nothing else to tell you, dear,
Except each dat seems like a year!
Every night I'm dreaming of you,
PS, I love you!
