(Wait!) Oh yes, wait a minute mister postman
(Wait!) Wai-ai-ai-ait, mister postman

(Mister postman, look and see) oh yeah
(Is there a letter in your bag for me?) please, please
(I've been waiting for such a long time) mr po-o-ostman
oh yeah (since I heard from that girl of mine)

There must be some word today
from my girlfriend, so far away
please mister postman, look and see
if there's a letter, a letter for me

I've been standing here and waiting, mister postman
so-o-o patiently
for just a card, or just a letter
saying she's returning home to me

Please mister postman (mister postman, look and see) oh yeah
(Is there a letter in your bag for me?) please, please
(I've been waiting for such a long time) mr po-o-ostman
oh yeah (since I heard from that girl of mine)

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

Mister postman (mister postman), look and see
if there's a letter in your bag for me
I've been a-waitin' for such a long time
since I 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, won't you check it and see one more time for me?

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
oh yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute
oh yeah, mister po-o-ostman
oh yeah, please deliver a 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, you gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
