look,

******
[C] I'm leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,

Oh [G7] me, oh [C] my, I [G7] hope the little [D7] lady comes by. [G]

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 [C]by.
