Lyrics

  1. Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
    Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
    Brother you don’t know a nicer occupation
    Matter of fact, neither do I than
    Standing on the 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 take me down to Main Street
    And that’s where I select my imaginary dish
  2. Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
    Standing on the 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
    Couldn’t buy a girl a nickel coke
    Still I’m living like a millionaire
    When I take me down to Main Street
    And I review the harem parading for me there
  3. Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
    Standing on the corner underneath a springtime sky
    Brother you can’t go to jail for what you’re thinking
    Or for the “wooooo” look in your eye, you’re only
    Standing on the corner watching all the girls
    Watching all the girls
    Watching all the girls go by
