Out on the corner

          Money in my hand

          I placed my order

          To my good friend

          Now I'm waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting for him, just to get by, to get by

          I’m waiting on a friend

          On South Atlantic Ave

          I’m waiting on a friend

          Just to get by

          Body is hurting            

          Mouth running dry

          And he's on his own clock

          Never on time

          So I'm waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting for him, just to get high, to get by

          Waiting on a friend

          South Atlantic Ave

          I’m waiting on a friend

          Just to get by

Waiting on a friend

          South Atlantic Ave

          I’m waiting on a friend

          Just to get by

         

          And I've got a sweet tooth…

Oh I’ve got a sweet tooth    

         

          Hear he comes now

          I'll make amends

          same time tomorrow

          We’re gonna do it again

          I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting for him just to get by, to get by

          Waiting on a friend

          South Atlantic Ave

          Waiting on a friend

          Just to get by

Waiting on a friend

          South Atlantic Ave

          I’m waiting on a friend

          Just to get by

Waiting on a friend

          South Atlantic Ave

          I’m waiting on a friend

          Just to get by, just to get by
