George Gershwin

Oh, Lady Be Good, song (from Lady, Be Good!, musical) testo

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
