(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
