Oh, Lady Be Good

Listen to my tale of woe,

Its terribly sad but true,

All dressed up, no place to go

Each evning Im awfly blue.

I must win some handsome guy

Cant 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 awfly misunderstood

So lady, be good to me

Oh, please have some pity

Im all alone in this big city

I tell you Im just a lonesome babe in the wood,

So lady be good to me.

Oh, please have some pity

Im all alone in this big city

I tell you Im just a lonesome babe in the wood,

So lady be good to me.

Oh 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.

Winters gone, and now its spring!

Love! where is thy sting? 

If somebody wont respond,

Im going to end it all.

So.....

Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good.

Oh lady, be good to me!

I am so awfly misunderstood,

So, lady be good to me.

This is tulip weather -

So lets put two and two together.

I tell you

Im just a lonesome babe in the wood,

So, lady be good, to me.

What a killing we could make;

Oh, lady, oh, please come through!

Susie, oh, for goodness sake;

All my future is at stake,

And, susie, its up to you,

So......
