[Intro]

Oh, Western Union man

Send a telegram to my baby

Send a telegram, send a telegram, woah

Send a telegram to my baby

This is what I want you to say

[Verse 1]

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, hurry up

And send a telegram, man, to my baby

You hear what I say

[Chorus]

Oh, Western Union man

Send a telegram, oh

Send a telegram to my baby

Western Union man, hey

Send a telegram, oh

Send a telegram, send a telegram, woah

Send a telegram, man, to my baby

This is what I want you to do, listen

[Verse 2]

Tell me, have you got a boy you can send?

Well, 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 missed her

Something like yesterday

Send a telegram, send a telegram, woah

Send a telegram, man, to my baby

Do you hear what I say?

[Chorus]

Oh, Western Union man

Why don't you send a telegram?

Oh, send a telegram to my baby

Western Union man

Please send a telegram

Oh, send it, send a telegram, send it

Send it, send it, send it right on to my baby

Do you hear what I say?

[Outro]

Hey, Western Union man

Send a telegram, woah

Send a telegram to my baby

Hey, Western Union man
