There must be some word today (wah-doo),
From my boyfriend so far away (wah-doo)
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see (wah-doo)
Is there a letter, a letter for me?

I've been standin' here waitin', Mr. Postman
(Wah-doo) so-woh, so patiently (wah-doo),
For just a card, or just a letter (wah-doo),
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me

So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standin' in my eyes
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better,
By leavin' me a card or a letter

Please, Mr. Postman, look and see,
Is there a letter, woh, yeah, in your bag for me?
You know it's been so long,
Yeah, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

You better wait a minute. (Wait.)
Wait a minute. (Wait a minute.)
Woh, you better wait a minute
(Minute, wait a minute.)

(Wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, Mr. Postman.)
Please, Mr. Postman

Deliver the letter, the sooner the better

Wait a minute, wait a minute. (Wait a minute.)
Wait a minute, please Mr. Postman. (Wait a minute.)
Wait a minute, wait a minute
