Lyrics

[Intro]
(Wait) Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
(Wait) Wait, hey, hey, hey, Mr. Postman
[Chorus]
(Please, Mr. Postman, look and see) Whoa, yeah
(Is there a letter in your bag for me?) Please, please
Mr. Postman ('Cause it's been a mighty long time)
Oh, yeah (Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine)
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
I was standin' here a-waitin', Mr. Postman
So, so patiently
For just a card, for just a letter
Sayin' he's returning home to me
[Chorus]
Please, Mr. Postman (Please, Mr. Postman, look and see)
Whoa, yeah (Is there a letter in your bag for me?)
Please, please
Mr. Postman ('Cause it's been a mighty long time)
Oh, yeah (Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, oh, yeah, in your bag for me?
You know it's been so long
Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
Wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Wait a minute, please, Mr. Postman, wait (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Oh, oh, oh
