Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
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.
Verse 1
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.
Bridge 1
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.
Chorus 1
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.

Verse 2
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.
Bridge 2
There's no other girl I would wait for,
But this one I'd break any date for.

She wouldn't leave me flat; she's not a girl like that.
Chorus 2
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.
