Lady Be Good

Lady Be Good - George Gershwin/Buddy Lee/Laddie Cliff/John Kirby

Listen to my tale of woe

It's terribly sad but true

All dressed up no place to go

Each evening I'm awfully blue

I must win some handsome guy

Can't go on like this

I could blossom out I know

With somebody just like you So

Oh sweet and lovely lady be good

Oh lady be good to me

I am so awfully misunderstood

So lady be good to me

Oh please have some pity

I'm all-alone in this big city

I tell you

I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood

So lady be good to me

Auburn and brunette and blonde:

I love 'em all tall or small

But somehow they don't' grow fond;

They stagger but never fall

Winter's gone and now it's spring

Love where is thy sting

If somebody won't respond

I'm going to end it all

Oh sweet and lovely lady be good

Oh lady be good to me

I am so awfully misunderstood

So lady be good to me

This is tulip weather

So let's put two and two together

Oh honey

I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood

So lady be good to me
