Standing on a corner
Watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner
Watching all the girls go by

Brother, you don`t know
A nicer occupation
Matter of fact
Neither do I

Than standing on a corner
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls go by

I`m the cat
That got the cream
Haven`t got a girl
But I can dream

Haven`t got a girl
But I can wish
So I`ll take me
Down to Main street
And that`s where I
Select my imaginary dish

Standing on a corner
Watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner giving
All the girls the eye

Brother, if you`ve
Got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl
Give it a try

Try standing on the corner
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls go by

Saturday, and I`m so broke
Haven`t got a girl
And that`s no joke

Still, I`m living
Like a millionaire
When I take me down
To Main Street and I review
The harem parading for me there

Standing on the corner
Watching all the girls go by
Standing on the corner
Underneath the springtime sky

Brother, you can`t
Go to jail for
What you`re thinking
Or for that woo
Look in your eye

You`ll be standing on the corner
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls go by
