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 Interlude: I’m the cat that got the cream Haven’t got a girl but I can dream Haven’t got a girl but I can wish So I’ll take me down to Main street And that’s where I select my imaginary dish Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a 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. Interlude: Saturday and I’m so broke Couldn’t buy a gal a nickel coke Still I’m livin’ like a millionaire When I take me down to Main Street And I survey the harem parading for me there Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye Brother you can’t go to jail for what you’re thinking Or for that woo look in your eye You’re only standing on the corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls watching all the girls go by

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la simplicité et le plaisir de passer du temps à observer les passantes sur un coin de rue. Le narrateur met en avant l'idée que, même sans richesse ni compagnie, il peut se divertir à rêver et à imaginer en regardant les filles défiler. C'est une célébration de l'imagination et de la légèreté de l'existence, où même un samedi sans un sou est l'occasion de se sentir comme un millionnaire grâce à un regard rêveur. Dans un registre léger et amusant, cette mélodie rappelle que les moments simples peuvent apporter de la joie.
