Oh Lady Be Good! Lyrics

George Gershwin 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 awfully blue
I know I'm a winsome miss / I must win some handsome guy
Can't go on like this,
I could blossom out I know,
With somebody just like you. So...
Chorus :
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.
(bis)
Oh lady be good to me.
