(Composed by George Gay) |
|
I'm leaning on a lamp, maybe you think, I look a tramp, |
|
Or you may think I'm hanging 'round to steal a motor-car. |
|
But no I'm not a crook, And if you think, that's what I look, |
|
I'll tell you why I'm here, And what my motives are. |
|
(Tempo Change) |
|
I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street, |
|
In case a certain little lady comes by. |
|
Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by. |
|
I don't know if she'll get away, She doesn't always get away, |
|
But anyhow I know that she'll try. |
|
Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by, |
|
There's no other girl I would wait for, But this one I'd break any date |
|
for, |
|
I won't have to ask what she's late for, She wouldn't have to leave me |
|
flat, |
|
She's not a girl like that. |
|
Oh, she's absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful. |
|
And anyone can understand why, |
|
I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street |
|
In case a certain little lady passes by. |
