Miriam Makeba - Down On The Corner lyrics

rate me

<br>

Early in the evenin' just about supper time <br>Over by the courthouse, starting to unwind <br>Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up <br>Willy picks a tune out, he blows it on the harp <br> <br>Down on the corner, out in the street <br>Willy and the poor boys are playin' <br>Bring a nickel, tap your feet <br> <br>Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile <br>Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while <br>Poor boy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo <br>Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo <br> <br>You don't need a penny just to hang around <br>But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down <br>Over on the corner there's a happy noise <br>People come from all around to watch the magic boys<br>
