I'm leaning on a lamp
-3” 3 -2” -3” -2 -2” 2 -2
Maybe you think I look a tramp
-1 2 -2 2 3 -3” 1 1 -1 -1 2
Or maybe you think I'm round to steal your car
3 4 -3 -3” 3 -3
But no, I'm not a crook
-3” -2 -2” -3” -2 -2” 2 -2
And if you think that's what I look
1 2 3 3 -3” 1 1 -1 -1 1
I'll tell you why and what my motives are
4 3 3 3 3 3 -3” -3” -3” 2 2 2 2 2
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
-2 -2 -2 -2 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 2 1
In case a certain little lady comes by
2 -1 -3” 3
Oh me, oh my

In case a certain little lady comes by

She doesn't always get away
-3” -3” 2 2 2 2 -2 -2
She cannot always get away
-2 -2 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 1
But anyway I know that she'll try
2 -1 -3” 3
Oh me, oh my
4 -3 -4 -3 3 -3” -2 -2’ -2
I hope that little lady comes by
2 -1 2 2 2 -2” 3 3 -3” -3
She's not the kind of girl to be late for
-2” 2 -2” -2” 3 -3” -3” -3 4
But this girl I'd break any date for
2 -1 2 2 -2” 3 3 -3” -4
I won't have to ask what she's late for
-4 -4 3 3 3 3
She'd never leave me flat

She's not a girl like that
