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

Please Mr. Postman, look and see (oh, yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me (please, please Mr. Postman)
Yes, it's been a mighty long time (oh, yeah)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend who's so far away
Please Mr. Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, a letter for me

I was standing here waiting, Mr. Postman
So-oh, so patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me
Please Mr. Postman

Please Mr. Postman, look and see (oh, yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me (please, please Mr. Postman)
Yes, it's been a mighty long time (oh, yeah)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standing in my eye
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter

Please Mr. Postman, look and see (postman, postman)
Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me (postman, postman)
You know it's been so long (postman, postman)
Yeah, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine (postman, postman)

You better wait a minute, wait a minute (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Oh, you better wait a minute (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Please check and see, just one more time for me

You better wait, wait a minute (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Please, Mr. Postman (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Deliver the letter, the sooner, the better

Wait a minute, wait a minute (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Wait a minute please, please, Mr. Postman (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute (wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Oh-oh, oh
