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
And 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
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I´m out in the street
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 eyes

But there ain´t no doubt girl, down here
We ain´t gonna take what they´re handing out
When I´m out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I´m out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
Baby, out in the street I don´t feel sad or 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
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I´m out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk

When I´m out in the street
Pretty girls, they´re all passing by
When I´m out in the street
From the corner we give them the eye

Baby, out in the street I just feel all right
Meet me out in the street, little girl tonight
Meet me out in the street
Meet me out in the street
