Western Union man, send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram
Send a telegram to my baby
This is what I want you to say
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 I think she's avoiding me
And if the telegram don't do
Send a box of candy too
Maybe some flowers
Tell her that I miss her for hours and hours
Send a telegram, send a telegram
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear what I say
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram
Send a telegram, send a telegram, come on
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
This is what I want you to do
Have you got a man you can send
Well, this is what I want him to do
I'd get him over there right away
And see if he can get my message through
No, not, not maybe tomorrow, he's got to mail it right away
I want the girl to know that I missed her
Yes something like yesterday
Send a telegram, send a telegram, come on
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear now what I say
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh send a telegram, send a telegram, send it
Send a telegram, send a telegram to my baby
Do you hear now what I say
Western Union
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh send a telegram, come on now
Won't you send a telegram, well, to my baby
(Western Union man, send a telegram)

Tell her that I'm waiting home for her
(Western Union man, send a telegram)
Western Union
(Send a telegram, send a telegram, send it)

Right to my baby
(Western Union man, send a telegram)
