Ebdim Dm7 G7 C G7 C6 C#dim But no, I'm not a crook, and if you think, G7 That's what I look; G Am D7 G7 Dm7 G7 I'll tell you why I'm here and what my motives are. *(Tempo Change)* Verse 1: C I'm leaning on a lamp-post, At the corner of the street, G7 C In case a certain little lady comes by. Dm7 G7 Oh me, C Am7 Oh my, G D7 G G7 I hope the little lady comes by. C I don't know if she'll get away, She doesn't always get away, G7 C But anyhow I know that she'll try. Dm7 G7 Oh me, C Am7 Oh my, G D7 G I hope the little lady comes by. Bridge 1: G7 Dm7 G7 There's no other girl I would wait for, G+ C E7 Am But this one I'd break any date for. D7 Am7 D7 I won't have to ask what she's late for; G7 Dm7 G7 She wouldn't leave me flat; she's not a girl like that.
