By Bill Greenwell Published 11 February 2002Please Mr Postmen, look and see (oh yeah)
If there's some junk mail in your sacks for me
Must have been the longest time I've known (oh yeah)
Since they offered me a bargain loan
There must be some pension plans
Somewhere in your queue of vans
Please Mr Postmen, my heart beats
While your fleets compete along the streets
So many uniforms you wear
So many prices to compare
I know it's a cottage, isn't a castle
Which one of you has lost my parcel?
Please Mr Postmen, take a peek (oh yeah)
They sent it seventh-class the other week
Wait a minute, which of you knocks? (oh yeah)
I've only got one Christmas box - Wait!
Is this a vendetta? Deliver my letter!
