Lyrics for Please Mr. Postman

Oh yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman (Wait) Wait Mr. Postman Please Mr. Postman, look and see (Oh yeah) Is there a letter in your bag for me? (Please, please Mr. Postman) 'Cause it's takin' a very long time? (Oh yeah) Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine There must be some word today From my boyfriend so far away Please Mr. Postman, look and see Is there a letter, a letter for me? I've been standin' here waitin', Mr. Postman So, so patiently For just a card, or just a letter Sayin' he's returnin' home to me (Please Mr. Postman) Mr. Postman, look and see (Oh yeah) Is there a letter in your bag for me? (Please, please Mr. Postman) 'Cause it's takin' a very long time? (Oh yeah) Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine So many days you passed me by You saw the tears standin' in my eye You wouldn't stop to make me feel better By leavin' me a card or a letter Please Mr. Postman look and see (Postman, Postman) Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me? (Postman, Postman) You know it's been so long (Postman, Postman) Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine (Postman, Postman) You better wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute) Oh, you better wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman) Please, please Mr. Postman (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman) Please check and see just one more time for me You better wait, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman) Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman) Please Mr. Postman (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman) Deliver the letter, the sooner, the better Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman) Please Mr. Postman (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman) Wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman)
