Lyrics

Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
(Wait) wait, Mr. Postman
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' here waiting, 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' 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 you check it and see one more time for me?
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Ooh, Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman, look and see)
C'mon, deliver the letter, the sooner, the better, ah
Mr. Postman
Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah
