Please Mister Postman

	A #1 for the Marvelettes, ten years later a #1 for the Carpenters, but the best-remembered version is the Beatles'. Deservedly so, as John again takes a seemingly innocuous song and gives it fangs and claws with a terrific vocal.	Bruce Beatlefan	November 19, 2005

Lyrics

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
