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.

 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 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.
