Out In the Street

Put on your best dress, baby

And, darling, fix your hair up right

'Cause there's a party, honey

Way down beneath the neon lights

All day you've been working that hard line

Now tonight you're gonna have a good time

I work five days a week, girl

Loading crates down on the dock

I take my hard-earned money

And meet my girl down on the block

Monday, when the foreman calls time

I've already got Friday on my mind

When that whistle blows

Girl, I'm down the street

I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

I walk the way I wanna walk

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

I talk the way I wanna talk

When I'm out in the street, when I'm out in the street

When I'm out in the street, girl

Well, I never feel alone

When I'm out in the street, girl

In the crowd I feel at home

The black-and-whites, they cruise by

And they watch us from the corner of their eye

But there ain't no doubt

Girl, that down here

We ain't gonna take what they're handing out

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

I walk the way I wanna walk

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

I talk the way I wanna talk

Baby, out in the street, I don't feel sad and blue

Baby, out in the street, I'll be waiting for you

When the whistle blows

Girl, I'm down the street

I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

I walk the way I wanna walk

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

I talk the way I wanna talk

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

Pretty girls, they're all passing by

When I'm out in the street, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

From the corner, we give them the eye

Baby, out in the street, I just feel alright

Meet out in the street, little girl, tonight

Go!

Meet me out in the street

Meet me out in the street

Whoa

Oh, meet me out in the street

Oh, meet me out in the street

Oh, meet me out in the street

Meet me out in the street

Oh, darling, out in the street

Meet me out in the street

Oh, meet me out in the street

Meet me out in the street

Oh, darling, out in the street
