When you want
A true lover
Send for me...send for me
You'll never want
Any other
Send for me...send for me
I promise you
I'll be true
Send for me...send for me

Anytime just tell me
Your problems
And you'll find out, baby
I'll solve 'em
If you're late one mornin'
Don't hurry
If you've got big trouble
Don't worry
Just depend
On your friend
Send for me...send for me

A-mornin', noon and night
In the early bright
Don't you fret, my pretty pet
I'm gonna treat you right

Don't you dare
Raise a hair
I'm gonna share
Your every care
Anywhere
Oh, yeah
Send for me...I'll be there

Anything
That upsets you
Send for me...send for me
I'll be there
To protect you
Wait and see...wait and see
Don't delay
Right away
Send for me...send for me

It's gonna be
Twiddle-deee
Yes sirree
You and me
Faithfully
Send for me

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
