That's him. That's me. I don't know who that is
ย
He rides down the street (I do)
He peddles round the block (Ha-ha)
Everybody's eager to hear the postman's knock
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
My turn!
Up before the lark or the crowing of the cock (Bukawk)
When the morning's dawning, you'll hear the postman's knock
He's up with the dawn (Heh, not you now)
He works around the clock
Morning, noon, and evening, you'll hear the postman's knock
Maybe he'll bring into your life today
(Ah, this is the sad part, today)
Some loving words from one who's far away
(Away, away)
Maybe the letter that he brings to you (I bring to you)
Will make forgotten dreams come true
What does he bring, delivered to your door? Tell 'em!
You're never really certain just what he has in store
For words can be sad (Oh, yes) or sweet as sugar plums
Open up the envelope and take it as it comes
ย
Twenty to twelve!
Nottingham or Norway, Boston or Bangkok
The world comes to your doorway with the postman's knock
He rides down the street, he peddles round the block
Everybody's eager to hear the postman's knock
ย
Who left that elephant in the street?
Come on now, come on, don't you want to tell me now?
Take that!
