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 
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 

You find me standing on a corner watching all the girls go by 
Hanging around 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 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 underneath the spring time sky 

Brother you'll never go to jail for what you're thinking 
Or for that look in your eye 

Try standing on the corner watching all the girls 
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls
