Here are the lyrics:
I'll tell you why I'm here and what my motives are.
I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by,
Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by.
I don't know if she'll get away, she doesn't always get away,
But anyhow I know that she'll try,
Oh me, oh my, I hope that little lady comes by.
There's no other girl I would wait for,
But this one I'd break any date for,
I won't have to ask what she's late for.
She wouldn't leave me flat, she's not a girl like that.
Oh she's absolutely wonderful and marvelous and beautiful
And anyone…
In case a certain little lady comes by,
He's got a crush on her and is waiting for her where he knows she will walk past (they didn't have Facebook back then), probably after work, building up the courage to talk to her.
I don't know if she'll get away, she doesn't always get away,
But anyhow I know that she'll try,
Either he chickened out or she brushed him off.
I suppose innuendo can be found in anything if one sets one's mind to it.
