The Islington Ladies Subversive Ukulele Ensemble ♀

(Apologies to George Formby ‘ Leaning on a lamp post’)

C

I’m lurking up the alley by a dark and lonely park

        G7                                C

until a lonely little lady comes by

DM7    G7    C Am7        

there’s one, I spy

G                 D7      G    G7

she’ll clock me up the alley and fly -

C

I hope she doesn’t get away

I always like to have my way

    G7                        C

It thrills me if they scream and they cry

C

so I’m lurking up the alley by a dark and lonely park       

          G7                            C

until a lonely little lady comes by.
