Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I'm leaning on a lamp; maybe you think,

I look a tramp,

Or you may think I'm hanging 'round to steal a 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.

Verse 1

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.

Bridge 1

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 leave me flat; she's not a girl like that.

Chorus 1

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.

Verse 2

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 goes;

Do do do dah, dah dee dee dee...

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.

Bridge 2

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 leave me flat; she's not a girl like that.

Chorus 2

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.
