Lyrics The Marvelettes

The Marvelettes

Twistin' Postman

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"
