(Wait)
Oh yes
Wait a minute, Mr. Postman
(Wait)
Wait, 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)
Whoa yeah
(Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine)
There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please, Mr. Postman
Look and see
Is there a letter
A letter for me?
I've been standin' here waitin', Mr. Postman
So so patiently
For just a card
Or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me
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)
Whoa yeah
(Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine)
So many days
You've 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, Mr. Postman
Look and see
Is there a letter, oh yeah
In your bag for me?
You know it's been so long
Yeah, since I heard from the boyfriend
Of mine
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Oh, you better wait a minute
Please, please, Mr. Postman
(Wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Please check and see
Just one more time for me
You gotta wait (wait)
Wait a minute (wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Please, Mr. Postman
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Deliver the letter
The sooner, the better
Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Wait a minute, please, Mr. Postman, wait
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Uh-huh
