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's got the cream
I haven't got a girl but I can dream
I haven't got a girl but I can wish
So I 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 a corner
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls go by
It's Saturday and I'm so broke
I couldn't buy a girl a five cent pork
Still I'm living like a millionaire
When I take me down the main street
And I review the harem
Parading for me there
Standing on a corner
Watching all the girls go by
Hanging around the corner
Giving all the girls the eye
Brother, you don't know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact
Neither do I
Than standing on a corner
Giving all the girls
Watching all the girls
Watching all the girls
