Leaning On A Lampost Songtext
von The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

I′m leaning on the lamp
Maybe you think I look a tramp
Or you think I'm hanging around 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 I′m here and what my motives are

I′m leaning on the 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

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


There's no other girl I would wait for
But this girl I′d break any date for
I won't have to ask what she's late for
"Wouldn′t leave you flat, I′m not a girl like that"

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

Now that's a jazz, comrade

There′s no other girl I would wait for
But this girl I'd break any date for
I won′t have to ask what she's late for
"You ain't from ′round these parts, ain′t it my lover, eh?"

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