Whoa yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman (Wait) Way-hey-hey-ait Mr. Postman (Please, Mr. Postman look and see) Whoa yeah (Is there a letter in your bag for me?) Please, please, Mr. Po-oh-oh-ostman (I've been waiting a mighty long time) Whoa yeah (Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine) There must be some word today-hey (I do) From my boyfriend so far away (I do) Please, Mr. Postman look and see (I do) Is there a letter, a letter for me? I've been standing here waiting, Mr. Postman (Wait, wait I do) So whoa so patiently (Wait, wait I do) For just a card or just a letter (Wait, wait I do) Saying he's returning home to me Please, Mr. Postman (Please, Mr. Postman look and see) Whoa yeah (Is there a letter in your bag for me?) Please, please, Mr. Po-oh-oh-ostman (I've been waiting a mighty long time) Whoa yeah (Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine) So many days you passed me by (Do wait, Mr. Postman) You saw the tears standing in my eyes (Do wait, Mr. Postman) You wouldn't stop to make me feel better (Do wait, Mr. Postman) By leaving me a card or letter Please, Mr. Postman, look and see (Postman, postman) Is there a letter whoa yeah, in your bag for me? (Postman, postman) You know it's been so long (Postman, postman) Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine (Postman, postman) You better wait a minute, Wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Whoa, you better wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Please, please, Mr. Postman (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Please check and see just one more time for me You better wait a minute, Wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Oh, you better wait a minute, Wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Please, Mr. Po-oh-oh-ostman (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Don't pass me by, you see the tears in my eyes You better wait (Wait) Wait a minute (Wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Wait a minute Wait a minute (Wait) Wait a minute (Wait a minute, Mr. Postman) Please, Mr. Postman (Wait)
