Intro:
    C              G
I'm leaning on the lamp,
          F              C
Maybe you think I look a tramp.
   C                   F        G       C  G   
Or maybe you think I'm round to steal a car.
    C             G
But no, I'm not a crook,
           F                   C
And if you think that's what I look,
     C                F       G       C
I'll tell you why and what my motives are.

Verse:

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.
   G      C   Am G                D          G

She's not the kind of girl to be late 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.

And anyone can understand why..I'm leaning on the lamppost

Biography

George Formby, OBE (26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961), was a British actor, singer-songwriter and comedian. He sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele. He was a major star of stage and screen in the 1930s and ’40s, when Formby became the UK’s highest-paid entertainer. His songs such as “When I’m Cleaning Windows” were particularly popular during the Second World War (1939–45).

When he and his wife travelled throughout the war, creating improvised lyrics to songs to fit the situation, they delighted their audiences.
