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 handsome guy

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 awf'ly 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.



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.



Oh lady be good to me.

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

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
