Les Kelton - 1961




Monsieur l’facteur ne dis pas
Que tu n’as rien dans ton sac pour moi
Car les jours passent et moi j’attends
Qu’elle m’écriv’ depuis si longtemps
Et pourtant toi tu le sais yé yé
Je ne reçois pas de courrier 
Regarde bien si, cette fois
Tu n’as pas un’ lettre pour moi, ah!

(Stop)
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 returnin' home to me


(Mister Postman)
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


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


(Mister Postman)
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


(Why don't you check it and see one more time for me, you gotta)
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see


(C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner the better)
Mister Postman
