Standin' on the corner watchin' all the girls go by
Standin' on the corner watchin' all the girls go by
Brother, you don't know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standin' on the corner watchin' all the girls
Watchin' all the girls, watchin' 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

Standin' on the corner watchin' all the girls go by
Standin' on the corner givin' all the girls the eye
Brother, if you've got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Try standin' on the corner watchin' all the girls
Watchin' all the girls, watchin' all the girls go by

Saturday, and I'm so broke
Haven't got a girl, and that's no joke
Still I'm living like a millionaire
When I take me down to Main Street
And I review the harem
Parading for me there
Standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by
Standin' on the corner underneath the springtime sky
Brother, you can't go to jail for what you're thinkin'
Or for the woo look in your eye
You're only standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls
Watchin' all the girls, watchin' all the girls
Go by
