Cool Change Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴On the streets of The Bronx
Is where I wanna be,
Standing on the corner
Singing doowop harmony
I've been waiting for the man
To come along
And discover me
Something is get the tune
Over I do want doowop
I wanna be a singer-star
I've been up and down The Bronx
With your shiny car

On the streets is where I wanna be
(that is where I wanna be, singing in harmony)
On the streets is where I wanna be
(that is where I wanna be. Go away, don't bother me!)
On the streets is where I wanna be,
On the corner...
I've been waiting for the man to come
Along and discover me.

Standing on the corner,
Singing doowop harmony.
On the streets of the Bronx

Is where I wanna be,
Where I wanna be.
