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, hey
(...Hey) Western Union.
Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da 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 you lesson all the way, hey.
I'll be on my way 'cause
There's another girl for me
Ill be sure of her and
Things'll be as they were.
Da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da-da
(WESTERN UNION, oh WESTERN UNION)
