Leaning On A Lamppost:Herman's Hermits.
#7 in 1965.
INTRO: (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.
#1. (Fast.)
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.
CHORUS:
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.
#2.
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.
#3.
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.
CHORUS:
REPEAT#1.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
