Lyrics to 'Standing On the Corner' by Tom Waits. So I'll take me down to Mainstreet. Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by. Haven't got a girl but I can wish. And that's where I select my imaginary dish. 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 Standin' on the corner I didn't mean no harm Along come a police he took me by the arm It was down in Memphis on the corner of Beale and Main He says big boy you'll have to …
Standing on the corner giving all the girls …
Than standing on a corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by 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 Haven't got a girl but I can dream.
