Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman
Wait Mister Postman

Please Mister Postman, look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
Why's it takin' a mighty long time?
For me to hear from this boyfriend of mine

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

I've been standin' here, waitin' Mister Postman
So, so patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me

Mister Postman, look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
Why's it takin' a mighty long time?
For me to hear from this boyfriend of mine

So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears, standin' in my eyes
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

Please Mister Postman, look and see
If there's 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

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
You better wait a minute
Please, please Mister Postman
Please check and see, just one more time, for me

You better wait, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, please Mister Postman
Deliver the letter, it's already better

Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, please Mister Postman
Wait a, wait a minute, wait a minute
