Lady Be Good
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
