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
Said she doesn'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, hey
Western Union Da-da-da-da-da ...
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, hey
SOLO
Telegram just had to say
You've learned your lesson all the way, hey
Western Union da-da...
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)
