INTRO

Wait!!! Oh Yeah! Wait a minute Mr. Postman
Wait!!! Waaaait


OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Oh Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
I've been waiting for such a long time

Allemande left and weave the ring
There must be some word today
*Swing your girl, promenade that way (*from my girlfriend so far away)

Please Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru 4 hands you go, the corner girl a dosado
Swing thru, the boys run right
Tag the line, cloverleaf tonight
Girls square thru 3/4 round
Your corner swing, promenade that town
Please Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I've been standing, a-waitin' Mr. Postman,
So..oo..o patiently
For just a card, or just a letter

Allemande left and weave the ring
You'd better, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
*Swing your girl, promenade that way (*wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute)

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Check it and see, one more time for me


TAG

Swing, Mr. Postman

ALTERNATE LYRICS

Sides face, grand square
So many days, you pass me by
You see the tears standing in my eye
You didn't stop to make me feel better

Allemande left and weave the ring
You'd better, wait a minute, wait a minute
*Swing your girl, promenade that way (*wait a minute, wait a minute)

You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
Check it and see, one more time for me
