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 a-twistin' 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) Mail sack swingin' 'round his back Cause he's a (Twistin' postman) Uh huh! He's a twistin' postman! Look at him go! Twistin', twistin'! He's got the mail sack twisted 'round his back Cause he's a (twistin' postman)" Twistin' 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) "Look! Look! Here comes the mailman twistin' down the avenue He's got a letter in his hand and I know it has to be for you"
