[Verse 1]
I hear tell there's big fun tonight
On the corner of Main and Dog-Meat-Bite
Friday midnights would not be right
Without Redd's hot party and a nasty fight
[Chorus]
But I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
[Verse 2]
You can't renege because it's going to be alive
Fine women, lots of liquor and stuff for your mind
Now where we're going they don't like your kind
But they'll cool out when you tell them you're a friend of mine
[Chorus]
Because I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
{Verse 3]
You can't tell your pa and mama
Where we're going going till after we've been there
'Cause that might make their poor heads worry
And worrying can cause grey hair
And one thing might lead to another
And if there'e any trouble they'll blame it on me
I think we just might have two to go
The pretty looking over here from the middle of the floor
We'll make a b-line to Hotel La Sin
Where you'll do the talking to get us in
[Chorus]
And I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
[Verse 4]
We shoulda been long gone 'cause this place is hot
'Cause in the corner there are two brothers that are undercover cops
If they stop us for questionning mum is the word
'Cause a question not answered is an answer not heard
[Chorus]
And I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
[Verse 5]
You can't tell your pa and mama
Where we're going going till after we've been there
'Cause that might make their poor heads worry
And worrying can cause grey hair
And one thing might lead to another
And if there's any trouble they'll blame it on me
I hear tell there's big fun tonight
On the corner of Main and Dog-Meat-Bite
Friday midnights would not be right
Without Redd's hot party and a nasty fight
[Chorus]
But I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
[Verse 2]
You can't renege because it's going to be alive
Fine women, lots of liquor and stuff for your mind
Now where we're going they don't like your kind
But they'll cool out when you tell them you're a friend of mine
[Chorus]
Because I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
I'll be in your corner
I'll be in your corner, if they do
