(Wait)
Oh yes wait a minute Mr. Postman
(Wait)
Wait Mr. Postman

(Mr. Postman look and see)
Oh yeah
(If there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please Mr. Postman, whoa yeah
(I been waiting such a long time)
Oh yeah
(Since I heard from that girl of mine)

There must be some word today
From my girlfriend so far away
Please Mr. Postman look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I been standing here waiting Mr. Postman
So patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Saying she's returning home to me

(Mr. Postman look and see)
Oh yeah
(If there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please Mr. Postman, whoa yeah
(I been waiting such a long time)
Oh yeah
(Since I heard from that girl of mine)

So many days you passed me by
See the tears standing in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter

So Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, oh yeah, for me
I've been waiting such a long time
Since I've heard from that girlfriend of mine

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
Wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
Check it and see one more time for me

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
Mr. Postman, oh yeah
Deliver the letter, the sooner the better

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
Wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
Gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah
You gotta wait, wait a minute
