[Intro]
Sitting by the window, feeling sad and blue
All because I haven't heard from you
[Verse 1]
And then my mama said, "Look! Look! Here comes the postman
A-twistin' down the avenue (Twistin' postman)
He's got a letter in his hand (Twistin' postman)
And I know it has to be for you (Twistin' postman)
He's got the mail sack t-twisted 'round his back
'Cause he's a twistin' postman"
[Verse 2]
Now he's a-twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right (Twistin' postman)
Twistin' all around and 'round (Twistin' postman)
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better (Twistin' postman)
I was gonna put you down (Twistin' postman)
I'm so glad he came in time
To ease this achin' heart of mine
'Cause he's a twistin' postman, hey
[Bridge]
Twistin', tossin' and a-turnin' (Oh yeah)
Twistin', tossin' and a-turnin' (Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah)
Twistin', bringin' me a letter (Hey, he's twistin' down the street)
Woo! make me feel better
Mail sack a-swingin' 'round his back
'Cause he's a—
[Interlude]
Twistin', a-twistin' to the left
Twistin' postman
Uh-huh
He's a twistin' postman, look at him go
Twistin', twistin'
He's got the mail sack swingin' 'round his back
'Cause he's a twistin' postman
[Verse 3]
Twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right (Twistin' postman)
Twistin' all around and 'round (Twistin' postman)
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better (Twistin' postman)
I was gonna put you down (Twistin' postman)
I'm so glad he came in time
To ease this achin' heart of mine
'Cause he's a twistin' postman
[Outro]
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
