I'm leanin' on a lamp

maybe you think

I look a tramp

or you may think

I'm hangin' '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 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

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
