Leaning on a Lamp Post

Leaning on a Lamp Post - George Formby

Written by：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 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

I'm leaning on a lamppost 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 lamppost at the corner of the street

In case a certain little lady passes by

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 lamppost at the corner of the street

In case a certain little lady passes by
