Lyrics Down On The Corner - John Fogerty

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
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin′
Bring a nickel; tap your feet

A rooster hits the washboard and people just got to 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 Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel; tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys 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 Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel; tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin′
Bring a nickel; tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel; tap your feet

I want you to know
Our ragtag there on the drums is one of the best
You will ever see
Playin′ his heart out for you
Mister John Bono
