(Wait) oh yes

Wait a minute, Mister Postman

(Wait) wait, Mister Postman

(Please, Mister Postman, look and see)

Woah, yeah

(Is there's a letter in your bag for me?)

Please, please Mister Postman

('Cause it's been a mighty long time)

Woah, yeah

(Since I've heard from this boyfriend of mine)

There must be some word today

From my boyfriend so far away

Please Mister Postman, look and see

Is there a letter, a letter for me

I've been standing here

Waiting, Mister Postman

So, oh, so patiently

For just a card or just a letter

Saying he is returning home to me

Please, Mister Postman

(Please, Mister Postman, look and see)

Woah, yeah

(Is there's a letter in your bag for me?)

Please, please Mister Postman

('Cause it's been a mighty long time)

Woah, yeah

(Since I've heard from this boyfriend of mine)

So many days, you passed me by

You saw the tear standing in my eyes

You wouldn't stop to make me feel better

By leaving me a card or a letter

Please, Mister 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've heard from

This boyfriend of mine

You better wait a minute, wait a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mister Postman)

Oh, you better wait a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mister Postman)

Please, please, Mister Postman

(Wait, wait a minute, Mister Postman)

Please check it and see

Just one more time for me

You gotta wait (wait)

Wait a minute (wait a minute, Mister Postman)

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mister Postman)

Please, Mister Postman

(Wait, wait a minute, Mister Postman)

Deliver the letter

The sooner the better

Wait a minute, wait a minute

(Wait, wait a minute, Mister Postman)

Wait a minute, please

Mister Postman
