Standing around telling jokes
We can't go no where because we're broke
And we don't care if the weather may be bad
It's just me and the fellas
Under the streetlamp(2)
Just dreaming of the days that lye ahead
And growing up was the one dream that was in our heads
Bobby wants to be the heavy weight champ
But his dreams got to go a lot further
Under the streetlamp(2)
(Ooooohhh yeah)
(Yeeaahh)
Just a bunch of fellas from the poor side of town
Under the streetlamp is the happiness we found
In a neighborhood where most every things rundown
So all we've got to make it to the brighter side of town
Woooooohhh
Willie Mase a fella like you and me
He made it big in the major leagues
But before he became the major league champ
He stood around just like me and the fellas
Under the streetlamp
(Under the streetlamp)
Under the streetlamp
(Under the streetlamp)

(Song fades out)
Every city and town
You'll find the fellas like it around
