george formby sr. - standing at the corner of the street lyrics
when eckard smith ran second in the derby, last july
i was standing at the corner of the street
a fellow dressed in uniform could easily see that i
was standing at the corner of the street
he greeted me and told me that the country needed men
in lifeguard clothes, he said i’d look a treat
‘e gave to to me a shilling and i signed my name and then
i was standing at the corner of the street
and for standing at the corner of the street
they dressed me up with spurs upon my feet
they put me on a horse’s back to teach me ‘ow to ride
the riding master came to me and cried
‘however did you come to be a soldier, i replied
‘i was standing at the corner of the street.’
now once when i was quite a lad, instead of going to school
i was standing at the corner of the street
i landed there at ten o’clock i’d made it quite a rule
this standing at the corner of the street
the teacher came and caught me i fair trembled at the knees
‘you’re late again!’ then kicked me with ‘is feet
said he, ‘tell me the reason why.’ said i, ‘if you please
i was standing at the corner of the street.’
and for standing at the corner of the street
‘in school, for you,’ he said, ‘i’ve got a treat.’
then ‘e laid me on a form and with a cane, he gave a frown
he put some stripes upon my pants, they were pink, white and brown
and after that, for many a day, instead of sitting down
i was standing at the corner of the street
as usual, the other day, instead of going a walk
i was standing at the corner of the street
two men came rushing up to me with faces white as chalk
they said a bull ‘ad just escaped, it was absolutely mad
‘e knocked a dozen p’licemen off their feet
there’s only one man strong enough, to catch that bull, they said
and ‘e’s standing at the corner of the street
i was standing at the corner of the street
i said to them,’we’ll soon stop ‘is retreat
one of you must stand just ‘ere and show ‘im something red
the other, he must grab ‘is h+rns and ‘ang on to ‘is ‘ead
they both said, ‘where will you be?’ so i turned round and said
‘i’ll be standing at the corner of the street.’
