Standing On The Corner Lyrics - A Small Affair In Ohio: Angora Ballroom, Cleveland 1977 - Tom Waits

Well, I'm standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by 

I'm always standin' on the corner, underneath the springtime sky 

Well, you can't go to jail for what you're thinkin' 

Or for the "wooo" look in your eye 

You been standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls 

Watchin' all the girls, watchin' 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 goin', so what, I'm feelin' just like a millionaire 

Now just take me down to Main Street 

And I'll survey the harem waitin' for me there

I'm gonna be standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by 

Oh baby, what you do now? 

Standin' on the corner, givin' 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 standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls 

Watchin' all the girls, watchin' 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 imaginary dish 

I'm standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by 

I'm gonna be standin' on the corner, underneath the springtime sky 

You know you can't get arrested for what you're thinkin' 

Or for the "wooo" look in your eye 

You been standin' on the corner, watchin' all the girls 

Watchin' all the girls, watchin' 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
