MEET ME ON THE CORNER
(Cy Coben)


Alma Cogan - 1952
Donald Peers - 1952


As recorded by ALMA COGAN:

Meet me on the corner at a quarter-to-eight
Meet me on the corner, baby, make it a date
Meet me on the corner underneath the old clock
We'll go where there's dancing and we'll make the joint rock
I'll be waiting for you baby, don't you be late
Oh, meet me on the corner at a quarter-to-eight
 
For a long time I've been waiting
For the time when we'd start dating
Can't blame me for celebratin'
I'm letting everyone know
 
So come on, meet me on the corner at a quarter-to-eight
Meet me on the corner baby, make it a date
We'll eat at a diner and then after we're fed
We'll get out our brushes and we'll paint the town red
I'll be waiting for you, baby, don't you be late
Oh, meet me on the corner at a quarter-to-eight

(Instrumental Break)
 
For a long time I've been waiting
For the night when we'd start dating
Can't blame me for celebrating
I'm lettin' everyone know
 
So come on, meet me on the corner at a quarter-to-eight
Meet me on the corner, baby, make it a date
We'll eat at a diner and then after we're fed
We'll get out our brushes and we'll paint the town red
I'll be waitin' for you, baby, don't you be late
Meet me on the corner, I'll be waitin' on the corner
Won't you meet me on the corner at a quarter-to-eight

And don't you be five minutes late now!
