(Wait)
Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman
(Wait)
Wait Mister Postman
Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Coz it's been a mighty long time
(Oh yeah)
Since I heard from this girl of mine
There must be some word today
From my girlfriend so far away
Please Mister Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, a letter for me
I've been standing' here waiting' Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' she's returnin' home to me
(Please Mister Postman)
Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Coz it's been a mighty long time
(Oh yeah)
Since I heard from this girl of mine
So many days you've passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter
(Please Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
You know it's been so long
Since I heard from this girlfriend of mine
You better
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
You better
Wait a minute
Please please Mister Postman
Just check and see one more time for me
You better
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
You better
Wait a minute
Please please Mister Postman
Deliver the letter, the sooner the better
