[Intro: organ and horns] [Verse 1] Mailman came this morning with a letter in his hand, It smelled like her perfume, and I didn't understand, She wrote it in a hurry and she wrote it on the run: Baby, I can't wait, so won't you come on home? [Chorus] Oh, the mailbag, the mailbag, Brought me word from you, Said come home, come home, come home Before the summer's through! [Verse 2] Sergeant, sign my papers, get me on a plane tonight, I got a letter in my pocket and I'm gonna make it right, She says the nights are long and the porch light's always on, Baby, I can't wait, so won't you come on home? [Chorus] Oh, the mailbag, the mailbag, Brought me word from you, Said come home, come home, come home Before the summer's through! [Outro: horns, fade] [End]
