Leaning On A Lamp Post

Herman's Hermits


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 

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 

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
