Leaning On A Lamp Post

I'm Leaning On A Lampost - George Formby

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 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 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

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

One do-do-do-didi-dodo of the girl

I could 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

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
