Wait ! Oh, yes, wait a minute, mister postman   Wait ! wait, mister postman.   Mister postman, look and see   If there's a letter in your bag for me   I've been waiting a long, long time   Since I heard from a girlfriend of mine.   There must be some words 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 waiting and waiting, mister postman   So-o-o patiently   For just a card or just a letter   Sayin'she's returning home to me.   Mister postman, look and see   If there's a letter in your bag for me   I've been waiting a long, long time   Since I heard from a girlfriend of mine.   So many days you passed me by   See the tears here in my eyes   You dindn't stop to make me feel better   By leaving me, I gotta have a letter.   Mister postman, look and see   If there's a letter in your bag for me   I've been waiting a long, long time   Since I heard from a girlfriend of mine.
