This song has been covered frequently, including a version by ‘The Beatles’ on their ‘With The Beatles’ album (1963).

“Please Mr. Postman” became a number-one hit again in early 1975, when ‘The Carpenters’ cover of the song also reached the top position of the Billboard Hot 100.





Lyrics:

Oh yes, wait a minute
Mister Postman
(Wait )
Wait Mister Postman
(*) Please Mister Postman look and see
( Oh yeah )
If there’s a letter in your bag for me
( Please, Please, Mister Postman )
Why’s it takin’ such a long time
( Oh yeah )
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’ve been standin’ here
Waitin’ Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card
Or just a letter
Sayin’ he’s returning’
Home to me

Repeat (*)

So many days
You passed me by
See the tears
Standin’ in my eyes
You didn’t stop
To make me feel better
By leavin’ me
A card or a letter

Repeat (*)

(Why don’t you check it and see one more time
for me you gotta)
Wait a minute, wait a minute….
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman look and see
(C’mon deliver the letter, the sooner, the better)
Mister Postman..
