Creedence Clearwater Revisited 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
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 to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
And 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 boys

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
