Down on the Corner Songtext
von Creedence Clearwater Revisited

Early in the evenin′, just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner tryna bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin′
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet

Rooster hits the washboard, people just got to smile
Simon brings the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out on its kalamazoo
Willy jumps into the crowd and doubles on kazoo

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet
(And again)


Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin′
Bring a nickel, stamp 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 streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin′
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet


Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin′
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet, waw!

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin′
Bring a nickel, stamp your feet
