Lyrics Oh Lady Be Good - Oscar Peterson

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.
