Got a cold-hearted mailman

He don't bring me no good news

Got a cold-hearted mailman

He don't bring me no good news

I'm just waitin' for the postman

Got those empty mailbox blues

Oh, I saw that cd-mailer

And I let out a joyful yell

Oh, I saw that cd-mailer

And I let out a joyful yell

But when I opened up the package

Another disk from A.O.L.

Oh they've got it in New England

They've got it in Germany

But way down here in Dixie

Ain't no sugar here for me

Got a cold-hearted mailman

He don't bring me no good news

Got a cold-hearted mailman

He don't bring me no good news

I'm just waitin' for the postman

Got those empty mail-box blues

Got a cold-hearted mailman

Gonna let my hound dog loose

Gonna let my hound dog loose

Have you and Professor Doktor Hamster X sent me my postcard yet, however?

I got one and left it for the good Doktor to sign. Unfortunately, he chewed it up and used it for bedding. I could but the remnants in an envelope for you, but they are a bit, how shall I put this delicately, used. Rather like you, one supposes.

I think I shall shop around for a postcard featuring curvaceous UNC coeds in sheer sundresses, just to give you a flavor of how much better my life is than yours. And supervise His Evil Hamsterness during the signing process.
