Standing on the Corner
Urban Daydreams: Observing Life's Rich Tapestry on Main Street
Lyrics
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Enjoying the view while standing on a street corner and observing passing girls
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Reiteration of the enjoyment of watching girls from the street corner
Brother, you don't know a nicer occupation
Expressing that observing girls on the corner is a pleasant activity
Matter of fact, neither do I
Acknowledging that there isn't a better occupation
Than standing on a corner watching all the girls
Highlighting the enjoyment of watching girls on the street corner
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
Emphasizing the continuous pleasure of observing passing girls
I'm the cat that got the cream
Feeling content and satisfied
Haven't got a girl but I can dream
Not having a girlfriend but indulging in dreams and fantasies
Haven't got a girl but I can wish
Expressing the desire for a girl through wishes
So I'll take me down to main street
Going to the main street to metaphorically choose an imaginary partner
And that's where I select my imaginary dish
Selecting an imaginary companion or scenario
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Continuing to enjoy watching girls from the street corner
Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye
Watching girls and expressing interest through eye contact
Brother, if you've got a rich imagination
Suggesting that a rich imagination enhances the experience
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Encouraging others to try the imaginative joy of street corner observation
Try standing on a corner watching all the girls
Reiterating the pleasure of watching passing girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
Repeating the joy of observing girls from the street corner
Saturday and I'm so broke
Being financially broke on a Saturday
Haven't got a girl and that's no joke
Not having a girlfriend and expressing the seriousness of the situation
Still I'm living like a millionaire
Living a rich and fulfilling life mentally despite financial constraints
When I take me down to main street
Going to the main street and metaphorically reviewing available options
And I review the harem parading for me there
Imagining a parade of potential partners on main street
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Continuing to enjoy watching girls from the street corner
Standing on a corner underneath the springtime sky
Watching girls under the pleasant springtime sky
Brother, you can't go to jail for what you're thinking
Asserting that thoughts are not punishable, emphasizing the innocence of observation
Or for that woo look in your eye
Reassuring that the observer is innocent and not engaging in any wrongdoing
You're only standing on the corner watching all the girls
Repeating the joy of standing on the corner and watching girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
Reiterating the continuous pleasure of observing passing girls
