Leaning on the Lamp Songtext
von Herman’s Hermits

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

I′m leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
Oh me,
oh my
I hope that little lady comes by


She's wonderful, she′s marvelous
She's fabulous, she′s beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by

She doesn′t always get away
She cannot always get away
But anyway I know that she'll try
Oh me,
oh my
I hope that little lady comes by

She's not the kind of girl to be late for
But this one I′d break any date for
I won′t have to ask what she's late for
She′d never leave me flat
She's not a girl like that

She′s wonderful, she's marvelous
She′s fabulous, she's beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by


I′m leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
Oh me,
oh my
I hope that little lady comes by

She′s wonderful, she's marvelous
She′s fabulous, she's beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I′m leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
