Oh, Lady, Be Good! (Live, 1957 Shrine Auditorium) Lyrics

Listen to my tale of woe
It's terribly sad but true
All dressed up, no place to go
Each evening I'm awfully blue
I must win some handsome guy
Can't go on like this
I could blossom out I know
With somebody just like you, soOh, sweet and lovely
Lady be good
Oh lady be good to me
I am so awfully misunderstood
So lady be good, to me
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just
A lonesome babe in the wood
So lady be good to meOh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city

I tell you I'm just
A lonesome babe in the wood
So lady be good to meOh, lady be good to me
