I'm
leaning
on
a
lamp,
maybe
you
think,
I
look
a
tramp,
Je
suis
accoudé
à
un
lampadaire,
tu
penses
peut-être
que
j'ai
l'air
d'un
vagabond,
Or
you
may
think
I'm
hanging
'round
to
steal
a
motor-car.
Ou
tu
penses
peut-être
que
je
traîne
pour
voler
une
voiture.
But
no
I'm
not
a
crook,
And
if
you
think,
that's
what
I
look,
Mais
non,
je
ne
suis
pas
un
escroc,
et
si
tu
penses
que
c'est
le
cas,
I'll
tell
you
why
I'm
here,
And
what
my
motives
are.
Je
vais
te
dire
pourquoi
je
suis
ici,
et
quelles
sont
mes
motivations.

I'm
leaning
on
a
lamp-post
at
the
corner
of
the
street,
Je
suis
accoudé
à
un
lampadaire
au
coin
de
la
rue,
In
case
a
certain
little
lady
comes
by.
Au
cas
où
une
certaine
petite
dame
passerait.
Oh
me,
oh
my,
I
hope
the
little
lady
comes
by.
Oh
là
là,
j'espère
que
la
petite
dame
va
passer.
I
don't
know
if
she'll
get
away,
She
doesn't
always
get
away,
Je
ne
sais
pas
si
elle
va
s'échapper,
elle
ne
s'échappe
pas
toujours,
But
anyhow
I
know
that
she'll
try.
Mais
en
tout
cas,
je
sais
qu'elle
va
essayer.
Oh
me,
oh
my,
I
hope
the
little
lady
comes
by,
Oh
là
là,
j'espère
que
la
petite
dame
va
passer,
There's
no
other
girl
I
would
wait
for,
But
this
one
I'd
break
any
date
Il
n'y
a
pas
d'autre
fille
que
j'attendrais,
mais
celle-ci,
je
romprais
n'importe
quel
rendez-vous
For,
Pour,
I
won't
have
to
ask
what
she's
late
for,
She
wouldn't
have
to
leave
me
Je
n'aurai
pas
à
lui
demander
pourquoi
elle
est
en
retard,
elle
ne
voudra
pas
me
laisser
Flat,
Tombé
à
plat,
She's
not
a
girl
like
that.
Ce
n'est
pas
une
fille
comme
ça.
Oh,
she's
absolutely
wonderful,
and
marvellous
and
beautiful.
Oh,
elle
est
absolument
merveilleuse,
merveilleuse
et
belle.
And
anyone
can
understand
why,
Et
tout
le
monde
peut
comprendre
pourquoi,
