Oh, Western 
Union man send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
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 think she's avoiding me
And if the telegram don't do
Send a box of candy too an maybe some flowers
Tell her that 
I miss her for hours and hours
Send a telegram, send a telegram
Hurry up, send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear what 
I say?Oh, 
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, hey, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
This is what 
I want you to do
Listen, tell me, have you got a boy you can send?
This is what 
I want him to do
Put him on his bike right away
See if he can get my message through
Maybe tomorrow but mail it right away
I want the girl to know that 
I missed her
Something like yesterday
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear what 
I say?Oh Western 
Union man why don't you send a telegram?
Well send a telegram to my baby
Western Union man, send a telegram
Oh send a, send a telegram, send it
Send it, send it, send it, right on to my baby
Do you hear what 
I say?Hey 
Western Union man, send a telegram, oh
