Twistin' Postman

(album: Greatest Hits - 1966)

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 twisting 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 (twisting postman)"

Now he's a-twisting to the left, twisting to the right
Twisting 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 aching heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twisting postman)

Mail sack swinging 'round his back
'Cause he's a
(Twisting postman)
Uh huh! He's a twisting postman! Look at him go!
Twisting, twistin'!
He's got the mail sack twisted 'round his back
'Cause he's a (twisting postman)

Twisting to the left, twisting to the right
Twisting 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 aching heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twisting postman)

Look! Look! Here comes the mailman twisting down the avenue
He's got a letter in his hand and I know it has to be for you
