Series 1-5 version (sung by Ken Barrie)[]

Postman Pat
Postman Pat
Postman Pat and his black and white cat
Early in the morning
Just as day is dawning
He picks up all the postbags in his van
Postman Pat
Postman Pat
Postman Pat and his black and white cat
All the birds are singing
And the day is just beginning
Pat feels he's a really happy man
Everybody knows his bright red van
All his friends will smile as he waves to greet them
Maybe; you can never be sure
There'll be knock, ring
Letters through your door
Postman Pat
Postman Pat
Postman Pat and his black and white cat
All the birds are singing
And the day is just beginning
Pat feels he's a really happy man
Pat feels he's a really happy man
Pat feels he's, a really happy man


Series 6-8 version (Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service; sung by Lewis MacLeod)[]

Postman Pat and his black and white cat
Early in the morning
Just as day is dawning
He picks up all the postbags in his van
Postman Pat
Postman Pat
Postman Pat and his black and white cat
All the birds are singing
And the day is just beginning
Pat feels he's a really happy man
Everybody knows his bright red van
All his friends will smile as he waves to greet them
Maybe you can never be sure
There'll be knock, ring
Parcels to your door
Postman Pat
Postman Pat
Postman Pat and his black and white cat
All the birds are singing
And the day is just beginning
Pat feels he's a really happy man
Pat feels he's, a really happy man
