HEY, WESTERN UNION MAN

Jerry Butler



Oh western union man

Send a telegram to my baby

Send a telegram, send a telegram

Who, send a telegram to my baby

This is what I want you to do

I want you to tell her that I'm all alone

I tried to call her on the phone

Tell her I'm in misery

And think she's avoiding me

And if the telegram don't do

Send a box of candy too

And maybe some flowers

Tell her that I missed her for hours and hours

Send a telegram, send a telegram

Send a telegram man

To my baby you hear what I say

Oh western union man send a telegram

Send a telegram to my baby

Oh western union man

Hey send a telegram

Send a telegram, send a telegram

Oh send a telegram to my baby

This is what I want you to do

Listen, tell me have you got a boy you can send

This is what I want him to do

Put him on his bike right away

See if he can get my message through

Maybe tomorrow

But mail it right away

I want the girl to know that I miss her

Something like yesterday

Send a telegram, send a telegram man

To my baby

Do you hear what I say

Oh western union man why don't you send a telegram

Oh send a telegram to my baby

Western union man send a telegram

Oh send it right on to my baby

Hey western union man

Send a telegram, send a telegram
