Lyrics

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

(Wait) Wai-hey-hey-hey-it, Mr. Postman


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

(Is there a letter in your bag for me?) Please, please, Mr. Po-oh-ostman

('Cause it's been a mighty long time) Whoa yeah

(Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine)


There must be some word today

From my boyfriend so far away

Please, Mr. Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, a letter for me?

I've been standin' here waitin', Mr. Postman

So so patiently

For just a card or just a letter

Sayin' he's returnin' 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

('Cause it's been a mighty long time) Whoa 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

Yeah, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine


You better wait a minute, wait a minute

(Wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Whoa, you better wait a minute

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

Please check and see

Just one more time for me


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

Oh you better wait a minute, wait a minute

Please, Mr. Po-ostman (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 a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

Please Mr. Postman
