I'm leaning on a lamp, maybe you think I look a tramp, Or you may think I'm hanging 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 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 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 marvelous and beautiful And anyone can understand why, I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street, In case a certain little lady passes by.
