Down on the Corner Lyrics

Early in the evenin", just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they"re starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying 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 Poorboys are playin"
Bring your nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard people just got to smile
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and he solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm man on his kalamazoo
w**** goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

Down on the corner, out in the street
w**** and the Poorboys are playin"
Bring your nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
w**** and the Poorboys are playin"
Bring your 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 hear the magic boys

Down on the corner, out in the street
w**** and the Poorboys are playin"
Bring your nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
w**** and the Poorboys are playin"
Bring your nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street
w**** and the Poorboys are playin"
Bring your nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street
w**** and the Poorboys are playin"
Bring your nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner
