Ella Fitzgerald - Oh, Lady Be Good! Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,it's terribly sad but true,All dressed up, no place to goEach ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.I must win some handsome guyCan't go on like this,I could blossom out I know,With somebody just like you. So...Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be goodOh, lady, be good to meI am so awf'ly misunderstoodSo lady, be good to meOh, please have some pityI'm all alone in this big cityI tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,So lady be good to me.Oh, please have some pityI'm all alone in this big cityI tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,So lady be good to me.Oh lady be good to me.Published lyric furnished by a visitor.Validated / Transcribed by Todd PeachPublished Version:Listen to my tale of woe, it's terribly sad but true,All dressed up, no place to goEach ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.I must win some winsome missCan't go on like this,I could blossom out I know,Which somebody just like you.
