Leaning On The Lamp Post

Tom: G

    C              G               F              C
I'm leaning on the lamp, maybe you think I look a tramp
   C                   F        G          C    G
Or maybe you think I'm round to steal your car
    C             G                 F                   C
But no, I'm not a crook, and if you think that's what I look
     C                F       G       C    F  C
I'll tell you why and what my motives are


[Verse 1]
    C                               Am
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
          G                         C
In case a certain little lady comes by
   G      C   Am           G              D          G
Oh me, oh my,    in case a certain little lady comes by


[Chorus]
          C                                 Am
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous, she's fabulous, she's beautiful
    G                     C
And anyone can understand why
    G       C      F         C      F      G      F
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
          D              G          C
In case a certain little lady comes by

(wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do)


[Verse 2]
    C                               Am
She doesn't always get her way, she cannot always get her way
    G                         C
But anyway I know that she'll try
   G      C   Am    G                D          G
Oh me, oh my,     I hope that little lady comes by


[Bridge]
      G
She's not the kind of girl to be late for
    C                       Am
But this girl I'd break any date for
  D                            D7
I won't have to ask what she's late for
      G  N.C.                          G    N.C.
She'd never leave me flat, she's not a girl like that


[Chorus]
          C                                 Am
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous, she's fabulous, she's beautiful
    G                     C
And anyone can understand why
    G       C      F         C      F      G      F
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
          D              G          C
In case a certain little lady comes by

(wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do)


[Verse 3]
    C                                Am
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
          G                         C
In case a certain little lady comes by
   G      C   Am            G              D          G
Oh me, oh my,     in case a certain little lady comes by


[Chorus]
          C                                 Am
Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous, she's fabulous, she's beautiful
    G                     C
And anyone can understand why
    G       C      F         C      F      G      F
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
          D              G          C
In case a certain little lady comes by
