I'm leaning on the lamp,
Maybe you think I look a tramp.
Or maybe you think I'm 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 and what my motives are.
#1. (Fast.)
I'm leaning on the lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by.
Oh me, oh my, in case a certain little lady comes by.
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous,
She's fabulous, she's beautiful.
And anyone can understand why I'm leaning on the lamppost
at the corner of the street in case a certain
little lady comes by.
#2.
She doesn't always get her way, she cannot always get her way.
But anyway I know that she'll try.
Oh me, oh my, I hope that little lady comes by.
#3.
She's not the kind of girl to be late for.
But this one I'd break any date for.
I won't have to ask what she's late for.
She'd never leave me flat she's not a girl like that.
REPEAT#1.
