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

 Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
 She's fabulous, she's 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

 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

 'onderful, she's marvelous
 She's fabulous, she's 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

 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
 In case a certain little lady comes by

 Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
 She's fabulous, she's 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
