Postal Privation

The Post Office announced this week that Saturday delivery--except for packages--will end in August.  Here's a song for all the people who still love to get their mail six days a week, based on The Beatles' "Please Mr. Postman" (originally produced by The Marvelettes):  

Wait, oh yes wait a minute mister postman
Wait, wait mister postman

Mister postman, look and see
About a Saturday delivery
I been used to mail all this time
Coming in to that box of mine.

There must be some word today
From the gov'ment so far away
Please mister postman look and see
About a Saturday delivery
I been getting all my mail this way
For years and years, you see,
Don't wanna change to no more letters
On that Saturday delivery.

Please mister postman, look and see
About a Saturday delivery
Please mister postman, please, please, please,
Tell me this is just another tease.

Please mister postman. . .
