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 goodto 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
