sitting by the window feeling sad and blue
all because i haven’t heard from you
and then my mama said look look
here comes the postman twistin’ down the avenue
he’s got a letter in his hand
and i know it has to be for you
he’s got the mail sack twisted ’round his back
’cause he’s a twistin’ postman
now he’s atwistin’ to the left twistin’ to the right
twistin’ all round and round
if he didn’t bring the letter to make me feel better
i was gonna put you down
i’m so glad he came in time to ease this achin’ heart of mine
’cause he’s a twistin’ postman
