"Please Mr. Postman" written by
lyrics
"Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
Wait, Mr. Postman
There must be some word today
From my boyfriend who's so far away
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, a letter for me?
I was standing here waiting, Mr. Postman
So, so patiently
For just a card, for just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me
Please, Mr. Postman, oh yeah
Please, please, Mr. Postman, woah yeah
So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standing in my eye
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving 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
Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine
You better wait a minute, wait a minute
Oh, you better wait a minute
Please, please, Mr. 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, Mr. Postman
Deliver the letter, the sooner the better
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, please, Mr. Postman
Wait a minute, wait a minute
..."
