Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Standin' on the Corner Songtexte

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
