Intro:
I'm [C]leaning on a [G7]lamp; maybe you [C6]think,[Dbdim]think, I look a [G]tramp,
Or you may [C]think I'm [C6]hanging '[D7]'round to [G7]steal a [C]car.[Ebdim]car. [Dm7] [G7]
But [C]no, I'm not a [G7]crook, and if you [C6]think,[Dbdim]think, that's what I [G7]look;
I'll tell you [G]why I'm here and [Am]what my [D7]motives [G7]are.[Dm7]are. [G7]

I'm [C]leaning on a lamp-post, at the corner of the street,
In case a [G7]certain little lady comes [C]by.
Oh [Dm7]me, [G7] oh [C]my,[Am7]my,
I [G]hope the little [D7]lady comes [G]by.[G7]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 [Dm7]me, [G7] oh [C]my,[Am7]my,
I [G]hope the little [D7]lady comes [G]by.
Bridge 1:
There's [G7]no other girl I would [Dm7]wait [G7]for,
[Gaug] But [C]this one I'd break any [E7]date [Am]for.

Oh, she's [C]absolutely wonderful and marvellous and beautiful,
And [G7]anyone can understand [C7]why;[Caug]why;
I'm [F]leaning on a lamp-post at the [D7]corner of the street,
In case a [C]certain little [G7]lady passes [C]by.
