Please mister postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please, mister postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy 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 patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me
(Mister postman)
Mister postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please, mister postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine
So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter
(Mister postman)
Please, mister postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, please mister postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time?
Why don't you check it and see
One more time for me?
You gotta
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Uh, uh, mister postman
C'mon deliver the letter
The sooner the better
I've been standin' here waitin', mister postman
So patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me
Oh, uh
Please mister postman
C'mon and check it again
If there's a letter
A little letter for me
