Oh Lady Be Good

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

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

Show Version:

What a killing we could make;

Oh, lady, oh, please come through!

Susie, oh, for goodness' sake;

It isn't so hard to do

In this moment of distress

Hear my S.O.S

All my future is at stake

And, Susie, it's up to you

So......

Oh sweet and lovely, lady be good

Oh Susie, be good to me

I am so awf'lly misunderstood

So Susie, 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 Susie 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

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'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

Oh, sweet and lovely wifey, be good

Oh, wifey be good to me!

I've put an end to your widowhood

So wifey, be good to me

We should be more clubby -

I hope you're glad to see your hubby

Or else, dear

I'll be a lonely babe in the wood

Oh wifey be good to me
