Leaning on a Lamp Post [C]George Formby

C I'm leaning on a G7 lamp,
maybe you C6 think, I C#dim look a G7 tramp,
G7 Or you may C think I'm hanging D7-alt 'round to steal a car.
G7 But C no I'm not a G7 crook,
And if you C6 think, C#dim that's what I G7 look,
G7 I'll tell you C why I'm here, and D7 what my motives are. Dm7 G7

C I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,
C In case a G7 certain little lady comes C by.
Oh G7 me, oh C my, I G7 hope the little D7 lady comes by. G
C I don't know if she'll get away, She doesn't always get away,
C But G7 anyhow I know that she'll C try.
Oh G7 me, oh C my, I G7 hope the little D7 lady comes by, G

G7 There's no other girl I would wait for,
But C this one I'd break any date for,
I D7 won't have to ask what she's late for,
D7-alt She Dm6 wouldn't have to leave me flat, She's not a G7 girl like that.
G7 Oh, she's C absolutely wonderful, and marvellous and beautiful.
C And G7 anyone can understand C7 why,
I'm F leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street
F In case a C certain little G7 lady passes Cby.
G7 C7 G7 C
