(Wait) Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman

(Wait) Wait, hey, hey, hey, Mr. Postman

(Please, Mr. Postman, look and see) Whoa, yeah

(Is there a letter in your bag for me?) Please, please

Mr. Postman ('Cause it's been a mighty long time)

Oh, yeah (Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine)

There must be some word today

From my boyfriend who's so far away

Please, Mr. Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, a letter for me?

I was standin' here a-waitin', Mr. Postman

So, so patiently

For just a card, for just a letter

Sayin' 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. Postman ('Cause it's been a mighty long time)

Oh, yeah (Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine)

So many days you've passed me by

You saw the tears standin' in my eye

You wouldn't stop to make me feel better

By leavin' me a card or a letter

Please, Mr. Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, oh, yeah, in your bag for me?

You know it's been so long

Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

You better wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Oh, 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, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Please, Mr. Postman (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Deliver the letter, the sooner the better

Wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Wait a minute, please, Mr. Postman, wait (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Oh, oh, oh
