Stop, oh yes wait a minute mister postman
Wait, wait mister postman

Please Mister postman look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
Why's it taking such a long time
For me to hear from that boy of mine

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please mister postman look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me

I been standing here waiting mister postman
So patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me

Please Mister postman look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
Why's it taking such a long time
For me to hear from that boy of mine

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

Please Mister postman look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
Why's it taking such a long time
Why don't you shake it and see one more time for me

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Mister Postman
Come on deliver the letter the sooner the better
