about
Somewhat inspired by Silicon Teens, I decided to do a cover of a classic 60s pop song. The Letter is written by Wayne Carson Thompson and was a #1 hit in 1967 for the Memphis rock group Box Tops | Synths used: Roland Promars, Roland SH-101, Roland Juno-Di, PPG Wave 3, Waldorf Streichfett, microKorgXL, and LogicProX
lyrics
Intro: Gimme, gimme, gimme…
1. Gimme a ticket for an aero-plane
I ain't got no time to take a fast train
The lonely days are gone, and I'm-a goin' home
'Cause my baby, just-a wrote me a letter
2. I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
The lonely days are gone, and I'm-a goin' home
'Cause my baby, just-a wrote me a letter
Chorus: Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more (no more, no more)
Listen, mister, can't you see I got to get back
To my baby once-a more (mi amore, amore, amore)
So, anyway… yeah!
3. You better, gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
'Cause I got no time to take a fast train
My lonely days are gone, and I'm-a goin' home
See, my baby, just-a wrote me a letter
4. (solo)
Chorus: Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she wouldn't live without me no more (no more, no more)
Listen, mister, can't you see I got to get back
To my baby once-a more (mi amore, amore, amore)
Anyway… yeah!
5. So gimme a ticket for an aero-plane
Can’t be bothered with no fast train
My empty days are gone, for I'm-a goin' home
'Cause my baby, just-a wrote me a letter
Outro: My baby, just-a wrote me a letter
Yeah, my baby just-a wrote me a letter
Ma-ma my baby just-a wrote me a letter
My baby just wrote…
…baby just wrote…
My baby just a-wrote…
...me a letter.
