Down on the Corner Lyrics

Early in the evenin',
just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse,
they're startin' to unwind.
Four kids on the corner
tryin' to bring you up.
w**** picks a tune out
and he blows it on the harp.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
w**** and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard
and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass
and solos for a while.
Poor boy twangs the rhythm
out on his Kalamazoo.
w**** goes into a dance
and doubles on gazoo.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
w**** and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street,
w**** and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

You don't need a penny,
just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel,
won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner,
there's a happy noise.
People come from all around
to watch the magic boy.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
w**** and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
w**** and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
w**** and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet. [FADE]
