Listen to my tale of woe
it's terribly sad but true
All dressed up, no place to go 
Each evening I'm awfully 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 awfully 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
