Leaning On a Lamp Post

Leaning On a Lamp Post - George Formby/Les Allen/Phyllis Robins

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

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 beautiful

And marvellous and wonderful

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

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 goes

Do do do dah dah dee dee dee

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 beautiful

And marvellous and wonderful

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
