Lyrics
Cruisin' on down to my street corner
Cruising to the familiar street corner
Where me and my friends hang out
Where the speaker and friends often gather
I'm pickin' up Billy along the way
Picking up a friend named Billy
Man he knows what it's all about
Billy understands the scene well
Jed knows some chicks that can be had
Jed knows some girls who are available
He's got his old mans car
Jed has access to his father's car
You know that can't be bad
Having a car is advantageous
Phil just got numbered in a fight
Phil recently got involved in a fight
But we all jumped in now ol' Phil's alright
All friends supported Phil, and he's okay
Hangin' out together on the street
Hanging out collectively on the street
Lookin' so hot we can't be beat
Appearing confident and unbeatable
Keepin' so cool when we get hassled
Remaining calm when confronted
Takin' our time to move along
Taking their time, not rushing
And if you're lookin' to start some trouble
Warning against starting trouble
Man you don't know what you're takin' on
Cautioning about the consequences of trouble
Me and Billy all the guys
The speaker, Billy, and other friends
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
Reference to a person named Fat Marie
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
Despite appearance, Fat Marie is attractive
Street corner people waitin' for the man
People on the street corner waiting for someone
Just me and Billy and all the guys
Speaker, Billy, and friends still waiting
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
Reiteration of Fat Marie's presence
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
Emphasizing Fat Marie's allure
Street corner people, we're waitin' for the man
Collective anticipation on the street corner
Shootin' our job to the local ladies
Engaging with local women
Showin' them such a good time
Providing a good time for the women
Drinkin' our wine and gettin' crazy
Enjoying wine and getting wild
And movin' on down the line
Progressing along the path
Just me and Billy, all the guys
Reaffirmation of the group with Billy
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
Repeat of Fat Marie's presence
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
Reiteration of Fat Marie's allure
We're just street corner people waitin' for the man
Collective waiting for someone on the street
Me and Billy, all the guys
Speaker and Billy with other friends
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
Repetition of Fat Marie's inclusion
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
Reiteration of Fat Marie's attractiveness
Street corner people waitin' for the man
People on the street corner still waiting
We're just street corner people
Reiteration of the street corner setting
We're waitin' for the man
Continued anticipation on the street
