Wish You Were Here Lyrics

I bought you postcards, thought it'd be funny
I would have sent a souvenir but they took all my money
It's pretty warm down here but it ain't sunny
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here

I tried to phone you, I tried to call you
Long distance operators they only stall you
Besides the damn rates are so high
They just appall you
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here

Started out a nice vacation
Left the station right on time
Now it's turned to pure frustration
I'm just a prisoner in time

Can't get a ticket to get me home, dear
They just don't have too many flights from twilight zone, dear
So don't forget to feed my cats
Spot and Jerome, dear
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here

Seen all the sights here, I'm getting lonely
I'd show you all the film I took if they would only
Let me go home dear, sincerely
And I'm having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here
Having a hell of a time, my dear
Wish you were here

Where's the line about "don't forget to feed my cats?" That's the funniest part.
