Sitting by the window feeling sad and blue
All because I haven't heard from you
And then my mamma said Look, (look) look, (look) here comes the postman
A-twistin down the avenue (twistin' postman)
He's got a letter in his hand (twistin' postman) and I know it has to be for you (twistin' postman)
He's got the mail sack a-twistin round his back
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)
A-he's a-twistin to the left, twistin' to the right (look, look, twistin' postman)
Twistin' all around and round (look, look, twistin' postman)
If he didn't bring a letter to make me feel better (look, look, twistin' postman)
I was gonna put you down (look, look, twistin' postman)
I'm so glad he came in time
To ease this achin heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)
Hey, (twistin' post and return)
Oh yeah (twistin' post and return)
Ooooow (twistin' bring me a letter)
Hey, he's a-twistin' down the street (make me feel better)
the mail sack a-twistin round his back
'Cause he's a
Twistin', twistin' to the left
(twistin' postman)
Twistin', twistin' postman, look and go
Twistin' twistin'
He's got the mail sack a-twistin round his back
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)
Twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right (look, look, twistin' postman)
Twistin' all around and round (look, look, twistin' postman)
If he didn't bring a letter to make me feel better (look, look, twistin' postman)
I was gonna put you down (look, look, twistin' postman)
I'm so glad he came in time
To ease this achin heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)
Look, look here comes the mailman (look, look, twistin' postman)
A-twistin' down the avenue (look, look, twistin' postman)
He's got a letter in his hand and I know it has to be for you (look, look, twistin' postman)
