Twistin' Postman Lyrics

Sitting by the window, feeling sad and blue
All because I haven't heard from you
And then my mama said "Look! Look!
Here comes the postman twistin' down the avenue
He's got a letter in his hand
And I know it has to be for you
He's got the mail sack twisted 'round his back
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)"

Now he's a-twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right
Twistin' all round and round
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better
I was gonna put you down
I'm so glad he came in time to ease this achin' heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)

He's got the mail sack swingin' 'round his back
'Cause he's a

(Twistin' postman)
Twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right
Twistin' all round and round
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better
I was gonna put you down
I'm so glad he came in time to ease this achin' heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)

"Look! Look! Here comes the mailman twistin' down the avenue
He's got a letter in his hand and I know it has to be for you"

As Long as I Know He's Mine

Sitting by the window, feeling sad and blue
All because I haven't heard from you
And then my mama said "Look! Look!
Here comes the postman twistin' down the avenue
He's got a letter in his hand
And I know it has to be for you
He's got the mail sack twisted 'round his back
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)"

Now he's a-twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right
Twistin' all round and round
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better
I was gonna put you down
I'm so glad he came in time to ease this achin' heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)

He's got the mail sack swingin' 'round his back
'Cause he's a

(Twistin' postman)
Twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right
Twistin' all round and round
If he didn't bring the letter to make me feel better
I was gonna put you down
I'm so glad he came in time to ease this achin' heart of mine
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)

"Look! Look! Here comes the mailman twistin' down the avenue
He's got a letter in his hand and I know it has to be for you"

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
