Listen to my tale of woe, it's terribly sad but true,
|
All dressed up, no place to go
|
Each ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.
|
I must win some winsome miss
|
Can't go on like this,
|
I could blossom out I know,
|
Which somebody just like you. So...
|
|
Oh sweet and lovely,
|
Lady be good,
|
Oh lady be good to me.
|
I am so awf'lly misunderstood,
|
So lady be good, to me.
|
Oh, please have some pity
|
I'm all alone in this big city.
|
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
|
So lady be good....to me.
|
|
Auburn and brunette and blonde:
|
I love 'em all, tall or small
|
But somehow they dont' grow fond;
|
They stagger but never fall.
|
Winte'rs gone, and now it's spring!
|
Love! where is thy sting?
|
If somebody won't respond,
|
I'm going to end it all.
|
So.....
|
|
Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good.
|
Oh lady, be good to me!
|
I am so awf'ly misunderstood,
|
So, lady be good to me.
|
This is tulip weather -
|
So let's put two and two together.
|
I tell you
|
I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
|
So, lady be good, to me.
