[Intro]
(Wait!)
Oh yes, wait a minute, Mister Postman
(Wait!)
Wait, Mister Postman

[Chorus 1]
(Mister Postman, look and see)
Oh yeah!
(Is there a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mister Postman
(I've been waiting a long, long time)
Oh yeah!
(Since I heard from that girl of mine)

[Verse 1]
There must be some word someday
From my girlfriend so far away
Please, Mister Postman look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I've been standing here waiting, Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Saying she's returning home to me

[Chorus 2]
Please, Mister Postman!
(Mister Postman, look and see)
Oh yeah!
(Is there a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mister Postman
(I've been waiting a long, long time)
Oh yeah!
(Since I heard from that girl of mine)

[Verse 2]
So many days you passed me by
See the tear standing in my eye
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter

[Chorus 3]
Mister Postman!
(Mister Postman, look and see)
Look and see
If there's a letter, oh yeah, for me
(Is there a letter in your bag for me)
I've been waiting such a long time
(I've been waiting a long, long time)
Since I heard from that girlfriend of mine
(Since I heard from that girl of mine)

[Outro]
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah!
(Mister Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah, you got to
(Mister Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah!
(Mister Postman)

Check it and see
One more time for me

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah!
(Mister Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah!
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah
(Mister Postman)

Deliver the letter, the sooner the better

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah!
(Mister Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Ooh! (Oh yeah!) You gotta
(Mister Postman)
Wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Oh yeah
(Mister Postman)

Gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Aah! (Oh yeah!) You gotta
Wait, wait a minute
(Oh yeah, ooh!)

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
