Yo La Tengo - We're An American Band lyrics

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

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

Brother you can't go to jail for what you're thinking

Or for that woo look in your eye

Standing on the corner watching all the girls

Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
