Oh Lady Be Good

George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin

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
