[C] I'm leaning on a [G7] lamp,
I know I [Am7] look, just like a [G7] tramp,
Or you may [C] think I'm hanging [Am6] 'round to steal a car [G7]
But [C] no I'm not a [G7] crook,
And if you [Am7] think, that's what I [G7] look,
I'll tell you [C] why I'm here, and [D7] what my motives are. [G7]


[C] I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,
In case a [G7] certain little lady comes [C] by.
Oh [G7] me, oh [C] my, I [G7] hope the little [D7] lady comes by. [G]
[C] I 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 [G7] me, oh [C] my, I [G7] hope the little [D7] lady comes by, [G]


[G7] There's no other girl I would wait for,
But [C] this one I'd break any date for,
I [D7] won't have to ask what she's late for,
[Am6] She [Dm6] wouldn't have to leave me flat
She's not a [G7] girl like that.


[G7] Oh, she's [C] absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful.
And [G7] anyone can understand [C7] why,
I'm [F] leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street
In case a [C] certain little [G7] lady passes [C] by.
