Please Mr. Postman, look & see
Is there a letter in your bag for me?
Cuz it's been a mighty long time
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend who's so far away
Please Mr. Postman, look & see
Is there a letter, a letter for me?

I've been standing here waiting, Mr. Postman
So-o, so patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Saying he's returning home to me
Dobbins, Garrett, Gorman, Holland & Bateman
