[Intro]

*telegraph*

[Verse 1]

Things went wrong today

Bad news came my way

I woke up to find

Oh, I had blew my mind

[Verse 2]

Western Union man

Bad news in his hand

Knocking at my door

Selling me the score

[Verse 3]

Fifteen cents a word to read

A telegram I didn't need

Says she doesn't care no more

Think I'll throw it on the floor

[Bridge]

Got your cable just today

Killed my groove I've got to say-ay-ay

[Chorus]

Western Union

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

[Verse 3]

Now, you've gone away, and

How it's sad to say you've gone

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

I remember what they said

Now, I'm going out of my head

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

[Bridge]

Telegram just had to say

You've learned your lesson all the way-ay

[Organ Solo]

[Bridge]

Telegram just had to say

You've learned your lesson all the way-ay-ay

[Chorus]

Western Union

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

[Verse 4]

I'll be on my way 'cause

There's another girl for me

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

I'll be sure of her, and

Things will be as they were

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta

Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

[Outro]

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

Western Union

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

Oh, Western Union

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)

Western Union

(Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta)
