[Refrain]
C7
Hey, western union man
Send a telegram, to my baby
Bb
Send a telegram, send a telegram
GmC7
Come on man, send it on to my baby
[Verse 1]
This is what I want you to do. (Spoken ad-lib)
C7
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.
F
And if the telegram won't do,
Dm
Send a box of candy too,
C7
And maybe some flowers,
Tell her that I missed her for hours and hours.
Bb
Send a telegram, send a telegram
GmC7
Come on man, send it on to my baby
Ah, this is what I want you to do.
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
This is what I want you to do (Spoken ad-lib)
C7
Have you got a boy you can send,
F
This is what I want him to do,
C7
Put him on his bike right away
If he can get my message through
FDm
Maybe tomorrow, maybe right away ,
C7
I want the girl to know that I miss her,
F
Something like yesterday.

Send a telegram, send a telegram,
GmC7
Come on man, send it on to my baby
Oh make it alright
