- The new c&w single from Joey English and the Tennessee Stranglers.

- ----
-
- I went to my mailbox one morning,
- Found some bills and a subscription card,
- There was something that morning that came without warning,
- And it caught me completely off guard.
-
- It wasn't no mail from my honey Gail,
- Who ran off with a salesman named Luke.
- 'least I don't think my wife, the ex-love of my life
- Would send a big plastic bag full of puke.
-
- (Chorus)
- Oh, what the hell is this doin' in the mail
- With no name or return address on it?
- I ain't got no friends that are weird enough to send
- A big plastic bag full of vomit.
-
- Next day came a letter that wasn't no better,
- From Doc Charles McGurdy, the vet.
- He wrote ``Well I tried, but your dog has just died,
- So sorry about your old pet.''
-
- I fought back the tears as I finished my beer,
- Remembrin' the way he said ``Arf.''
- But that wasn't why I was startin' to cry,
- 'Twas the big paper sack full of barf.
-
- (Chorus)
- Oh, what the hell is this doin' in the mail
- With no name or return address on it?
- I ain't got no friends that are sick enough to send
- A big plastic bag full of vomit.
-
- Think I'll get in my car and drive out to the bar,
- Get drunk and play songs on the juke.
- 'Cause my wife left my side, and my dog up and died,
- And somebody's mailin' me puke.
-
- (Repeat chorus)
- (Repeat final verse)
