Leaning on a Lampost Lyrics by George Formby

0

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

I'm leaning on a lamppost 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 that 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 leave me flat, she's not a girl like that
Oh she's absolutely wonderful and marvelous and beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady passes by

I'm leaning on a lamppost 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 goes wadda dadda da de bom bom

There's no other girl I could 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
Oh she's absolutely wonderful and marvelous and beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady passes by
