Song Lyrics

Cruisin' on down to my street corner
Where me and my friends hang out
I'm pickin' up Billy along the way
Man he knows what it's all about
Jed knows some chicks that can be had
He's got his old mans car
You know that can't be bad
Phil just got numbered in a fight
But we all jumped in now ol' Phil's alright

Hangin' out together on the street
Lookin' so hot we can't be beat
Keepin' so cool when we get hassled
Takin' our time to move along
And if you're lookin' to start some trouble

Man you don't know what you're takin' on
Me and Billy all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
Street corner people waitin' for the man
Just me and Billy and all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
Street corner people, we're waitin' for the man

Shootin' our job to the local ladies
Showin' them such a good time
Drinkin' our wine and gettin' crazy
And movin' on down the line
Just me and Billy, all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
We're just street corner people waitin' for the man

Me and Billy, all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, ooh my my my
Street corner people waitin' for the man
We're just street corner people
We're waitin' for the man
