From Francis & Day's Album of Famous Old Songs No 4.<\/strong>

There's a little man comes round,
Ev'ry morning he is found,
With a big bag on his back
And a lot of letters that he carries in a pack.
He brings all sorts of news, you see,
And he always carries one for me; 
It's a scented note from my best pal,
And one comes ev'ry day,  
So I'm always waiting for his knock, 
Then I'll jump up and say:

\"Good morning, Mister Postman<\/em>! 
Have you brought any letters for me?<\/em>
Have you brought any letters for me?<\/em>
'Cos I'm waiting for one, don't you see.
If you haven't got one,
Then I shall feel very sore<\/em>;
For my heart goes<\/em> pit-a-pat
When I hear your<\/em> rit-a-tat
When you come knocking at the door -or -or
When you come knocking at the door.\"<\/em>
[twice]

I lie awake from six o'clock,
Waiting for his welcome knock,
Just to read what my pal says
'Cos I think about him all the days and nights.
And sometimes he will pass, you see,
And look and say there's none for me; 
Then I say \"Now, can't you find me one?\"
And look with great surprise;
\"If it's only a little one
Well, I don't mind the size.\"
