1
Well, I'm standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by
2
I'm always standin' on the corner, underneath the springtime sky
3
Well, you can't go to jail for what you're thinkin'
4
Or for the "wooo" look in your eye
5
You been standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls
6
Watchin' all the girls, watchin' all the girls, they go by
7
And it's Saturday and I'm so broke
8
And I couldn't buy a girl a nickel Coke
9
I'm goin', so what, I'm feelin' just like a millionaire
10
Now just take me down to Main Street
11
And I'll survey the harem waitin' for me there
12
I'm gonna be standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by
13
Oh baby, what you do now?
14
Standin' on the corner, givin' all the girls the eye
15
Well this ain't much of an occupation
16
Give it a whirl, give it a try
17
And you'll be standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls
18
Watchin' all the girls, watchin' all the girls, they go by
19
You know that I'm the cat that's got the cream
20
And I ain't got me a girl, but I can dream
21
I ain't got me a girl, but I can wish
22
Now just take me down to Main Street
23
And I'll select my own imaginary dish
24
I'm standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by
25
I'm gonna be standin' on the corner, underneath the springtime sky
26
You know you can't get arrested for what you're thinkin'
27
Or for the "wooo" look in your eye
28
You been standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls
29
Watchin' all the girls, watchin' all the girls, they go by
30
I'm gonna watch 'em go by
31
Oh, hubba hubba, man
32
Go by, yeah
33
I'm gonna watch 'em go by
