Lyrics
What a wonderful man the postman is As he hastens from door to door What medley of news his hands contain For high, low, rich and poor In many's the face the joy he can trace In many's the grief he can see When you open the door to his loud rat-tat And his quick delivery Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Number One he presents with news of a birth With tidings of death, number Four And at Thirteen a bill of terrible length He drops through a hole in the door Now a cheque or an order for Fifteen he leaves In Sixteen his presence to prove While Seventeen doth an acknowledgement get And Eighteen a letter of love Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock And the mail must get through Whatever the hazards or odds This low man of letters just peddles on through Pursued by a pack of wild dogs But ease and complaining whatever the trial Or beating he never retreats For you get a free bag and a hat with a badge And it's better than walking the streets Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock Every morning as true as the clock Somebody hears the postman's knock
