Herman's Hermits Lyrics
"Leaning on the Lamp Post"

I'm leaning on the lamp, maybe you think I look a tramp
Or maybe you think I'm round to steal your 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 come 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 girl, 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

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

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 come 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
