Standing On The Corner - Lyrics

Standing On The Corner
(Frank Loesser 1956)
Well, I’m standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
I’m always standing on the corner underneath the springtime sky
Well, you can’t go to jail for what you’re thinking
Or for the 'woo' look in your eye
You been standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls, they go by

And it’s Saturday and I’m so broke
And I couldn’t buy a girl a nickel Coke
I’m going, so what, I’m feeling just like a millionaire
Now just take me down to Main Street
And I’ll survey the harem waiting for me there

I’m gonna be standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
Oh baby, what you do now?
Standing on the corner giving all the girls the eye
Well this ain't much of an occupation
Give it a whirl, give it a try
And you’ll be standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls, they go by

You know that I’m the cat that’s got the cream
And I ain’t got me a girl but I can dream
I ain’t got me a girl but I can wish
Now just take me down to Main Street
And I’ll select my own, imagine my own imaginary dish

I’m standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
I’m gonna be standing on the corner underneath the springtime sky
You know you can’t get arrested for what you’re thinking
Or for the 'woo' look in your eye
You been standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls, they go by

I’m gonna watch ‘em go by
Oh, hubba hubba, man
Go by, yeah
I’m gonna watch ‘em go by
