Please Mr. Postman - The Carpenters (Cover)

Please Mr. Postman - The Ca... Lyrics & Chords

Happy Diwali to all of you!!

Song: Please Mr. Postman (1974)
Vocals/Producers: Karen & Richard Carpenter

Cover: Rashmi Nair
Mixing: George Kuruvilla

Thanks George, for mixing this song. You have done a great job. Preferably, pls listen to it with your headphones.

“Please Mr. Postman” (1961)was the debut single by The Marvelettes, notable as the first Motown song to reach the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart.

This song has been covered frequently, including a version by ‘The Beatles’ on their ‘With The Beatles’ album (1963).

“Please Mr. Postman” became a number-one hit again in early 1975, when ‘The Carpenters’ cover of the song also reached the top position of the Billboard Hot 100.

Lyrics:

Oh yes, wait a minute
Mister Postman
(Wait )
Wait Mister Postman

(*) Please Mister Postman look and see
( Oh yeah )
If there’s a letter in your bag for me
( Please, Please, Mister Postman )
Why’s it takin’ such a long time
( Oh yeah )
For me to hear from that boy of mine

There must be
Some word today
From my boyfriend
So far away
Please Mister Postman
Look and see
If there’s a letter
A letter for me

I’ve been standin’ here
Waitin’ Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card
Or just a letter
Sayin’ he’s returning’
Home to me

Repeat (*)

So many days
You passed me by
See the tears
Standin’ in my eyes
You didn’t stop
To make me feel better
By leavin’ me
A card or a letter

Repeat (*)

(Why don’t you check it and see one more time
for me you gotta)
Wait a minute, wait a minute….
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman look and see

(C’mon deliver the letter, the sooner, the better)

Mister Postman

Oh dot Rashmi !!!
Great song ….with great feelings !!!!
a lovely work you did ….sang so beautifully and lyrics also you mentioned so that every one could understand and enjoy !!!!
The song has same feelings as every one used to have in our previous days….when internet was not existing…telephones were also not available….!!!
the poets and lovers used to wait for the “Mr. post man”. I have come across this situation in 1999 when i was in Iran…i used to wait for your aunty Manju Jain ’s letter and she awaited mine……!!!!! The Head post master Mr. Rezai had become my friend !!!!! now a days time has changed….but still Mr. Postman is very important throughout the world !!!! speed post….courier services……!!!!
Its a great tribute to the professional…he only runs in hot summers and chilled winters and rains…. still ….specially villages of india and big cities too.
Loves dot ….keep on singing .
If you find time, listen my recordings….

Rashmi! quite surprising to see such a post as I was unaware that u cover English songs as well. A bold attempt and ur voice is so rejuvenating. And the accent with which u have sung is noteworthy. Everyone cannot sing such a song with such a diction. My first round of applause for that pick.
Second one has to be attributed to your lovely accent. Third one for the energy. Fourth one is for your style which sounds awesome.
Superb & stupendous Performance Rashmi. Bag my 5/5. And with ur consent, I add this as my favourite as well.

Special mention has to be made about George’s mixing. It was George who has given the needed colour and shade to this song through his mixing. Superb work George. Hats off.

Thanks & Regards,
RAJ.
Music is what our feelings sound like….

Rash dear… thanks a lot for bringing in the memories of Karen!

Karen – always had an angelic voice! What a tragedy that she was taken away from us at such a young age. Too bad she was anorexic and died of that…. the world lost a great talent! She had an unique voice ……always lingers in our memory as the greatest artist of all time! Incredible positive effect is her voice that has on people even to this day. Her legacy will never be forgotten.

Amazing work done by YOU DEAR RASH and this is the best of your covers. U too have the smooth and jazzy voice. I would love to discover more of Karen in You now. Rash u sounded absolutely effortless in this singing with ease.

You do deserve full marks and my fav’ too and love to hear more of Karen’s songs.George is known for his excellent mix always.

Thanks for sharing.

MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Wonderful divine soul Rashmi Di,

I loved it to the core. This is true top class western singing. I can surely say that this is one of the best renditions in a female voice on Muziboo.

Like Dr. Priya said the best part is you were too good and at that level being effortless is commendable. I love you for your sweet and divine voice.

I have a wonderful request for you now. I am going to give you a very tough song to sing which I know you will do full justice to.

I would request you to sing All By Myself, I was planning to cover this song but I am very sure that it will sound far better in a female voice and more so because you will render it better than me for sure.

RATING:
INFINITY on 5

FAVORITES:
Goes straight to my favorites as it touched my heart and soul.

The fluidity in this song was commendable.
The diction wonderful.
The heavenly voice like nectar to the soul.
Rendition the best of all your renditions.
Undoubtedly one of the best on Muziboo.

Sending you lots of blessings and grace on this Diwali. Missed you a lot for a long time.

Remember you were the one who used to comment on my songs when nobody used to comment :)

Ofcourse you will get a lot from God for being such a pure soul. My prayers and blessings are always with you.

Happy Diwali to you and your family and all our sisters and brothers on Muziboo and their families and loved ones.

God Bless You….

Nice retro cover and made me smile. After hearing this any boyfriend should deliver himself as a parcel to his beloved girlfriend at the earliest opportunity!. A letter will not suffice anymore, easily overtaken by emails of today anyhow!.

Very nice vocals Rashmi and mixing was good. Would have liked to hear more ‘kick’ in your voice which I am sure you could have emulated. Sounded very good otherwise and loved it. You have a good knack of doing catchy English numbers. Keep up the great work!.

dear rashmi nair,
wonderful rendition of this song which was a great hit of the 60’s & 70’s when no email or
courier service were available, so the postman was an important person. even today though the number of letter writing has dwindled yet the
when the postman delivers a letter we feel excited to know the contents and the person who had sent it.

good wishes,
k.gopu
