Things went wrong today

Bad news came my way

I woke up to find

A wire that blew my mind

Western Union man

Bad news in his hand

Knocking at my door

Selling me the score

Fifteen cents a word to read

A telegram I didn't need

Said she didn't care no more

Think I'll throw it on the floor

Got your cable just today,

Killed my groove, I've got to say, heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Western Union:

Now you've gone away and,

How it's sad to say you've gone

I remember what they said,

Now I'm going out of my head

Telegram just had to say,

You've learned your lesson all the way, heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

2x

Telegram just had to say

You've learned your lesson all the way, heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Western Union:

I'll be on my way 'cause

There's another girl for me

I'll be sure of her and

Things will be as they were

Western Union, oh Western Union
