(Wait!)
Woh, yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman.
(Wait.)
Wait, Mr. Postman.

(Please, Mr. Postman, look and see,)
Woh, yeah.
(Is there a letter in your bag for me?)
Please, please, Mr. Postman.
(Must have been a mighty long time,)
Woh, yeah.
(Since I heard from that boyfriend of mine.)

There must be some word today (wah-doo),
From my boyfriend so far away (wah-doo).
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see (wah-doo).
Is there a letter, a letter for me?

I've been standin' here waitin', Mr. Postman.
(Wah-doo) so-woh, so patiently (wah-doo),
For just a card, or just a letter (wah-doo),
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me.

Please, Mr. Postman.
(Please, Mr. Postman, look and see,)
Woh, yeah.
(Is there a letter in your bag for me?)
Please, please, Mr. Postman.
(Must have been a mighty long time,)
Woah, yeah.
(Since I heard from that boyfriend of mine.)

So many days you passed me by.
You saw the tears standin' in my eyes.
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, woh, yeah, in your bag for me?
