Malvina Reynolds - Street Corner Blues Тексты

Stand around the corner, watch the cars go by,
Stand around the corner, watch the cars go by,
Haven't got the money for coffee and pie.

Stand around the corner, watch the hardtops pass,
Stand around the corner, watch the hardtops pass,
If I had a hardtop, couldn't buy the gas.

Stand around the corner, jump and holler for fun,
Stand around the corner, jump and holler for fun,
Can't do nothing but throw your fists and run.

I got a future, I can see it plain,
I got a future, I can see it plain,
March me in the river, march me in the rain.

I got a future, doors are open to me,
I got a future, doors are open to me,
Jailhouse door, or the infantry.

Stand around the corner, coppers stand around, too,
Stand around the corner, coppers stand around, too,
Cops around the corner, nothing else to do.

Folks look right through you when you're drafting age,
Folks look right through you when you're drafting age,
Everybody sees you when you make front page.1

Got me a dolly, can't get very far,
Got me a dolly, can't get very far,
Can't buy her coffee or take her out in a car.

Got me a baby, she sure is sweet to me,
Got me a baby, she sure is sweet to me,
She'll kiss me goodbye when I make the infantry.
