Lyrics John Fogerty

John Fogerty

Down on the Corner

Early in the evenin',

Just about supper time,

Over by the court house

They're starting to unwind.

Four kids on the corner,

Trying to bring you up.

Willy picks a tune out,

And he blows it on the harp.

Down on the corner

Out in the street.

Willy and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel

Tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard

And people just got smile,

Blinky thumps the gut bass,

And solos for a while.

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out

On his kalamazoo

Willy goes into a dance

And doubles on kazoo.

Down on the corner

Out in the street.

Willy and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel

Tap your feet.

Down on the corner

Out in the street.

Willy 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.

Willy and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel

Tap your feet.

Down on the corner

Out in the street.

Willy and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel

Tap your feet.

Down on the corner

Out in the street.

Willy and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel

Tap your feet.

Down on the corner

Out in the street.

Willy and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel

Tap your feet.
