Things went wrong today
Bad news came my way
I woke up to find
A wire had 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
Says she doesn't care no more
Think I'll throw it on the floor
Got your cable just to day
Killed my groove, I've got to say - ay
Western Union
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Now you've gone away, and
How it's sad to say you've gone
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
I remember what they said
Now I'm going out of my head
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Telegram just had to say
You've learned your lesson all the way - ay
[BREAK]
Telegram just had to say
You've learned your lesson all the way - ay
Western Union
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
I'll be on my way, 'cause
There's another girl for me
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
I'll be sure of her, and
Things will be as they were
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Duh-dit-duh-dit-duh, duh-dit-duh-dit-duh
Oh, Western Union (duh-dit-duh-dit-duh)
Oh, Western Union (duh-dit-duh-dit-duh)
Oh, Western Union (duh-dit-duh-dit-duh)
Oh, Western Union (duh-dit-duh-dit-duh)
Oh, Western Union (duh-dit-duh-dit-duh)
