Ella Fitzgerald Oh Lady Be Good Lyrics

Oh Lady Be Good Lyrics

Listen to my tale of woe,
it`s terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev`ning I`m awf`ly 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 awf`ly 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.

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.

Oh lady be good to me.

Listen to my tale of woe, it`s terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev`ning I`m awf`ly blue.
I must win some winsome miss
Can`t go on like this,
I could blossom out I know,
Which somebody just like you. So...

Oh sweet and lovely,
Lady be good,
Oh lady be good to me.
I am so awf`lly 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 dont` grow fond;
They stagger but never fall.
Winte`rs gone, and now it`s spring!
Love! where is thy sting?
If somebody won`t respond,
I`m going to end it all.
So.....

Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good.
Oh lady, be good to me!
I am so awf`ly misunderstood,
So, lady be good to me.
This is tulip weather -
So let`s put two and two together.
I tell you
I`m just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So, lady be good, to me.

Show Version:
What a killing we could make;
Oh, lady, oh, please come through!
Susie, oh, for goodness` sake;
It isn`t so hard to do.
in this moment of distress
hear my S.O.S.
All my future is at stake,
And, Susie, it`s up to you,
So......

Oh sweet and lovely, lady be good,
Oh Susie, be good to me.
I am so awf`lly misunderstood,
So Susie, 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 Susie be good....to me.

Listen to my tale of woe, it`s terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev`ning I`m awf`ly blue.
I must win some winsome miss
Can`t go on like this,
I could blossom out I know,
Which somebody just like you. So...

Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good.
Oh lady, be good to me!
I am so awf`ly misunderstood,
So, lady be good to me.
This is tulip weather -
So let`s put two and two together.
I tell you
I`m just a lonesome babe in the wood,

So, lady be good, to me.

Oh, sweet and lovely wifey, be good.
Oh, wifey be good to me!
I`ve put an end to your widowhood
So wifey, be good to me.
We should be more clubby -
I hope you`re glad to see your hubby.
Or else, dear,
I`ll be a lonely babe in the wood,
Oh wifey be good to me.
