Standing on Broadway (Watching the Girls)

Everybody out there, lend an ear
Especially all you hep cats, the heep cats, that is
I’m gonna tell a story, baby
Listen to me! Looka here, hey

Standing on Broadway
Watching all the girls a go by
Skinny or fat, I like ‘em like that
I get my kicks digging all of the chicks

Standing on Broadway
Watching all the girls go by
Oh, short or tall, I love ‘em ’n’ all
They look so neat walking down the street

Now looka here, all of you cats out there
In your town, I know you’ve got a Broadway
Looka here baby, take a tip from me
Go on out there and dig them
Pretty, pretty girls that walk by
Looka here, dig this, hey

God made woman, I understand
He made her especially for man
If a woman is good, she’s a precious thing
She can take a tramp and make him a king

On the other hand, if a woman is bad
She’ll take a real good guy and she’ll make him bad
She’ll love him sweet, pretend it’s real
Then she’ll make him beg and steal

But I love all the women
The young and the old
The blind ones, the crippled ones
God bless their soul
I’m gonna love ‘em until I die
That’s my one big reason why

Standing on Broadway, hallelujah ha ha
I’m watching all the girls go by
I’m standing on Broadway, oh yeah
I’m watching all the girls go by
Hey and I’m standing on the corner
Standing in the middle
I diggin’ on the pretty pretties
Big and little

Standing on Broadway, oh yeah
Standing on Broadway
