Learning On A Lamppost

Learning On A Lamppost - 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 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 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 goes 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

Go do do do didi dodo dada

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 lamp-post at the corner of the street

In case a certain little lady passes by
