(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's here
waitin', Mr. Postman
So patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me

(Mr. Postman) 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

so many days you passed me by
See the tears standin's in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

(Mr. postman) 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

(Why don't check it and see one
more time for me, you gotta
Wait a minute Wait a minute
Wait a minute Wait a minute
(Mr. Postman) Mr. Postman, look and see

(C'mon deliver the letter,
the sooner the better) Mr. Postman -
