Woke up this mornin´ and I crawled out of bed,
I made a cup of coffee just to clear my head.
I felt all right ´til I looked on the floor,
There was a pile of bills stacked against the door.
I went in the kitchen and drank another cup,
I sat down at the table and added it up.
When I discovered how much I owe,
I said, ooh, ooh, it´s time to go.

Mailman stay away from my door,
Got too many bills I don´t need no more,
I don´t know what I´m gonna do, but while I´m deciding,
To save my soul, I´m going to find me a hole to hide in,

[Instrumental]

Everyday it´s the same old thing,
I know in advance what the man´s gonna bring.
Registered letters from all over town,
Those final reminders are gettin´ me down.
I once had money, but it´s all been spent,
And now the landlord said he needs the rent.
Telephone company cuttin´ off my phone,
Why don´t they all just leave me alone?

Mailman keep away from my door,
Got too many bills I don´t need no more.
I don´t know what I´m gonna do, but while I´m deciding,
To save my soul, I´m going to find me a hole to hide in.

Mailman, stay away from my door.
Mailman stay away from my door.
Mailman stay away from my door.
Mailman yea, stay away from my door, whoo
