George Formby Leaning On A Lamp Post Lyrics

Leaning On A Lamp Post 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 passes 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 passes by.
