(C)Wait!

Oh yes, wait a min ute, Mis ter Post man.

Wait,

’Cause it’s been a might y long time

since I heard from this boy friend of mine.

There must be some word to day

from my boy friend so far a way.

Please, Mis ter Post man, look and see;

Please, Mis ter (C)Post man,

look and see;

’Cause it’s been a might y long time

since I heard from this boy friend of mine.

You’d bet ter (C)wait.

Wait a min ute, Mis ter Post man.

Wait.

Wait a min ute, Mis ter Post man.

Wait.

Wait a min ute, Mis ter Post man.

De (G)liv er the let ter, the soon er the bet ter.
