 (slow) (Original key.)
 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 lamppost 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 lamppost
at  the corner of  the street  in case a certain
 little lady  comes by.
 She doesn't  always get her way, she cannot  always get her way.
 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.
 REPEAT1.
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
