Leaning On The Lamp Post

    C              G               
I'm leaning on the lamp, maybe you 
F              C
think I look a tramp
   C                   F      
Or maybe you think I'm round to 
  G          C    G
steal your car
    C             G               
But no, I'm not a crook, and if 
  F                   C
you think that's what I look
     C                F     
I'll tell you why and what my 
  G       C    F  C
motives are


[Verse 1]
    C                              
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the
 Am
 corner of the street
          G                        
In case a certain little lady comes
 C
 by
   G      C   Am           G    
Oh me, oh my,    in case a 
          D          G
certain little lady comes by


[Chorus]
          C               
Oh, she's wonderful, she's 
                  Am
marvelous, she's fabulous, she's 
beautiful
    G                     C
And anyone can understand why
    G       C      F         C  
I'm leaning on the lamp post at 
    F      G      F
the corner of the street
          D              G        
In case a certain little lady 
  C
comes by

[Verse 2]
    C                              
She doesn't always get her way, she
 Am
 cannot always get her way
    G                         C
But anyway I know that she'll try
   G      C   Am    G           
Oh me, oh my,     I hope that 
     D          G
little lady comes by


[Bridge]
      G
She's not the kind of girl to be 
late for
    C                       Am
But this girl I'd break any date for
  D                            D7
I won't have to ask what she's late 
for
      G  N.C.                       
   G    N.C.
She'd never leave me flat, she's not
 a girl like that


[Chorus]
          C               
Oh, she's wonderful, she's 
                  Am
marvelous, she's fabulous, she's 
beautiful
    G                     C
And anyone can understand why
    G       C      F         C  
I'm leaning on the lamp post at 
    F      G      F
the corner of the street
          D              G        
In case a certain little lady 
  C
comes by
