...LEANIN' ON A LAMP-POST... by George Formby
----------------------------.................
*Released 1937*
*N.B...Ukulele CHORD DIAGRAMS follow the Guitar Tab*
Intro:
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.
*(Tempo Change)*
Verse 1:
I'm leaning on a lamp-post, 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 the little lady comes by.
Bridge 1:
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.
Chorus 1:
Oh, she's absolutely wonderful
and marvellous and beautiful,
And anyone can understand why;
I'm leaning on a lamp-post at
the corner of the street,
In case a certain little lady
passes by.
(Tempo Change)
Verse 2:
I'm leaning on a lamp-post, 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 the little lady goes;
G7 (n.C)
Wah dah, dah dah dah, dah dee, boom boom.
Bridge 2:
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.
Chorus 2:
Oh, she's absolutely wonderful
and marvellous and beautiful,
And anyone can understand why;
I'm leaning on a lamp-post at
the corner of the street,
In case a certain little lady
passes by.
