Intro:
I'm [C]leaning on a [G7]lamp,
Maybe you [C6]think,[C#dim]
I look a [G]tramp,
C,
Or you may think,
I'm [C6]hanging '[D7]round,
To [G7]steal a [C]car.
[Ebdim] [Dm7] [G7]
But [C]no I'm not a [G7]crook,
And if you [C6]think,[C#dim]
That's what I [G7]look,
I'll tell you [G]why I'm here,
And [Am]what my [D7]motives [G7]are.[Dm7] [G7]
*(Tempo Change)*
Verse 1:
I'm [C]leaning on a lamp-post,
At the corner of the street,
In case a [G7]certain,
Little lady comes [C]by.
Oh [Dm7]me,[G7]
Oh [C]my,[Am7]
I [G]hope the little,
[D7] Lady comes [G]by.[G7]
I [C]don't know if she'll get away,
She doesn't always get away,
But [G7]anyhow I know that she'll [C]try.
Oh [Dm7]me,[G7]
Oh [C]my,[Am7]
I [G]hope the little,
[D7] Lady comes [G]by.
Bridge 1:
There's [G7]no other girl,
I would [Dm7]wait [G7]for,
[G+] But [C]this one,
I'd break any [E7]date [Am]for,
I [D7]won't have to ask,
What she's [Am7]late [D7]for,
She [G7]wouldn't leave me [Dm7]flat,
She's not a [G7]girl like that.
Chorus 1:
Oh, she's [C]absolutely wonderful,
And marvellous and beautiful,
And [G7]anyone can,
Understand [C7]why,[C+]
I'm [F]leaning on a lamp-post,
At the [D7]corner of the street,
In case a [C]certain,
Little [G7]lady passes [C]by.
(Tempo Change)
Verse 2:
I'm [C]leaning on a lamp-post,

In case a [G7]certain,
Little lady comes [C]by.
Oh [Dm7]me,[G7]
Oh [C]my,[Am7]
I [G]hope the little,
[D7] Lady goes:
[G7] Do do do dah,
Dah dee dee dee...
I [C]don't know if she'll get away,
She doesn't always get away,
But [G7]anyhow I know that she'll [C]try.
Oh [Dm7]me,[G7]
Oh [C]my,[Am7]

[D7] Lady comes [G]by.
