Oh, Lady Be Good

Listen to my tale of woe

It's terribly sad but true

All dressed up, no place to go

Each evening I'm awfully blue

I must win some winsome miss

Can't go on like this

I could blossom out, I know

With somebody just like you

So—

Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good

Oh, lady, be good to me

I am so awfully 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 don't grow fond

They stagger, but never fall

Winter's gone, and now it's spring

Love, where is thy sting?

If somebody won't respond

I'm going to end it ll

So, oh

I tell you

I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood

So lady, be good to me
