George Formby - Leaning On A Lamp Post (1937)

George Formby sings "Leaning On A Lamp Post." At the end you will hear the uke playing that ends "Free As A Bird" by the Beatles.

I'm leaning on a lamp--maybe you
think I look a tramp. Or you may
think I'm hanging '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 I'm here 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, I hope the little lady comes by. I don't know
if she'll get away. She doesn't always get away, but
anyhow I know that she'll try. Oh me, oh my, I hope
the little lady comes by. There's no other girl I
would wait for, but this one I'd break any date
for. I won't have to ask what she's late for. She
wouldn't leave me flat. She's not a girl like
that. Oh, she's absolutely wonderful and marvelous
and beautiful. And anyone can understand why I'm
leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street in
case a certain little lady passes by.
