POSTMAN'S KNOCK
Title song from the film "Postman's Knock" (1962)
(Music: Ron Goodwin / Lyrics: Herbert Kretzmer)


Studio Chorus (Film Soundtrack) - 1962





He rides down the street, he pedals round the block
Ev'rybody's eager to hear the postman's knock
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

Up before the lark or the crowing of the cock
When the mornin's dawnin' you'll hear that postman's knock
He's up with the dawn, he works around the clock
Morning, noon and evening you'll hear the postman's knock

Maybe he'll bring into your life today
Some lovely words from one who's far away
Maybe the letter that he brings to you
Will make forgotten dreams come true

What does he bring, delivered to your door
You're never really certain just what he has in store
A word can be sad or sweet as sugar plums
Open up the envelope and takes it as it comes

Nottingham or Norway, Russia or Bangkok
The world comes to your doorway with the postman's knock

He rides down the street, he pedals round the block
Ev'rybody's eager to hear the postman's knock
