[Chorus]
Western Union man
Send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram, woah
Send a telegram to my baby

[Post-Chorus]
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 I think she's avoiding me
And if the telegram don't do
A-send a box of candy, too
Maybe some flowers
Tell her that I missed her for hours and hours

[Pre-Chorus]
Send a telegram, send a telegram, hey
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear what I say?

[Chorus]
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, come on
Send a telegram, man, a-to my baby

[Post-Chorus]
This is what I want you to do

[Verse 2]
Have you got a man you can send
Well, this is what I want him to do
A-get him over there right away
And see if he can get my message through
No, not, not maybe tomorrow
You've got to mail it right away
I want the girl to know that I missed her
Yes, something like yesterday

[Pre-Chorus]
Send a telegram, send a telegram, come on
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
A-do you hear now what I say?

[Chorus]
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 what now I say? Come on

[Post-Chorus]
Western Union

[Chorus]
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 that telegram right to my baby?

[Outro]
Tell her that I'm all alone
Tell her that I'm waiting by the phone
Western Union
Send that telegram right to my baby
Western Union man
Tell her that I need her
And I'm doing all I can
Tell her to come on home
Send a telegram, come on
Send that telegram to my baby
Woo-hoo
Western Union man
Oh, send that telegram
