Hey, Western Union Man Lyrics By Jerry Butler

    oh western union man
    send a telegram to my baby
    send a telegram send a telegram whoa
    send a telegram to my baby

    this is what i want you to say
    i want you to tell her that i’m all alone
    i tried to call her on the phone
    tell her i’m in misery
    and think she’s avoiding me
    and if the telegram don’t do
    send a box of candy too
    and maybe some flowers
    tell her that i missed her for hours and hours

    send a telegram send a telegram
    send a telegram man to my baby
    you hear what i say

    oh western union man
    send a telegram oh
    send a telegram to my baby
    western union man hey
    send a telegram oh
    send a telegram send a telegram whoa
    send a telegram man to my baby

    this is what i want you to do listen
    tell me have you got a boy you can send
    this is what i want him to do
    put him on his bike right away
    see if he can get my message through
    maybe tomorrow but mail it right away
    i want the girl to know that i miss her
    something like yesterday

    send a telegram send a telegram man whoa
    send a telegram man to my baby
    do you hear what i say

    oh western union man
    why don’t you send a telegram
    oh send a telegram to my baby
    western union man
    please send a telegram
    oh send it send a telegram send it
    send it send it sent it right on to my baby
    do you hear what i say

    hey western union man
    send a telegram oh
    send a telegram to my baby
