LEANING ON A LAMP-POST - Noel Gay
GEORGE FORMBY
I'm (C) leaning on a (G7) lamp, maybe you (C) think I look a (G) tramp
Or you may (C) think I'm hanging round to Steal a (G7) car
But (C) no, I'm not a (G7) crook and if you (C) think that's what I (G7) look
I'll tell you (C) why I'm here and what my (D7) motives (G7)
I'm (C) leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a (G7) certain little lady comes (C) by
Oh (D) me (G7) Oh my (G)
I (G) hope the little (D) lady comes (G) by
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 (D) me Oh (C) my
I (G) hope the little (D) lady comes (G) by
BRIDGE
Theres no other (G7) girl I would wait for
But (C) this one I'd break any date for
I (D) won't have to ask what she's late for
She (G) wouldn't leave me flat she's not a (G7) girl like that
Oh she's (C) absolutely wonderful and marvellous and beautiful
And (G7) anyone can understand (C7) why
I'm (F) leaning on a lamppost at the (D7) corner of the street
In case a (C) certain little (G7) lady passes (C) by
