I'm leaning
on the 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 and
hear what my
motives are
I'm leaning on the
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 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
beautiful and marvelous
and wonderful and
anyone can
understand why
