leaning on a lamp-post - george formby lyrics

(composed by george 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 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.

(tempo change)

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 p-sses by.

(tempo change)

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 do do do dah dah dee dee dee…
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 p-sses by.
