Down on the Corner Songtext
von Goo Goo Dolls

Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, they′re startin' to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin′ to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
And willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey!
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel tap your feet


Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin′
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie 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 got a nickel won′t ya 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
Willie and the poor boys are playin′
Bring a nickel tap your feet
