( Stop )
Oh yes, wait a minute
Mr Postman
( Wait )
Wait Mr Postman
(*) Please Mr Postman look and see
( Oh yeah )
If there's a letter in your bag for me
( Please, Please, Mr Postman )
Why's it takin' such a long time
( Oh yeah )
For me to hear from that boy of mine
There must be
Some word today
From my boyfriend
So far away
Please Mr Postman
Look and see
If there's a letter
A letter for me
I've been standin' here
Waitin' Mr Postman
So patiently
For just a card
Or just a letter
Sayin' he's returning'
Home to me
Repeat (*)
So many days
You 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
Repeat (*)
( Why don't you check it and see one more time
for me you gotta )
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
( Mr Postman )
Mr Postman look and see
( C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner, the better )
Mr Postman
