A letra:
Oh, I think I had enough of your religion
It's tough, it's a state of mind
I
don't need it!
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's feeling lonely
Describe
her for 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 it to me
Yeah, and I'm begging you
Begging you, down on my knees
Baby
please, please please
You, you, got to send it, send it, send
it
Send it to me
Send her to me
Send her to me
Send her to me
Send her to me
Yeah,
I'm sending in a letter
To my sister
In Australia
Sister
Marie
Ain't got no lover
No sense of cover
I need some
loving
Send it to me
Send it to me
Send it to me
Send it to me
Send
it to me
She won't have to watch her step
Seh won't have to relocate
I
guarantee her personal security
She don't have to be five foot ten
Or blond or brunette
She don't have
to be no social hostess
Send her
She might 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
Bubarian
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 (You got to send it to)
Send her to me
(You got to send it to)
Send her to me (You got to send it
to)
Send her to me
Send her to me
