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

Mister postman look and see 
You got a letter in your bag for me 
I been waiting such a long time 
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 been standing here waiting mister postman 
So patiently 
For just a card or just a letter 
Saying she's returning home to me 

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

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute 
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute 
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute 
You gotta check it and see, one more time for me 

Wait Wait Wait 
Deliver the letter, the sooner the better 

Wait
