Down On The Corner (Fogerty’s Factory Version) Lyrics by John Fogerty

Summertime Drive

2020

[Verse 1]
Early in the evenin', oh, just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
[Chorus]
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Verse 2]
Rooster hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance, doubles on kazoo
[Chorus]
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys arе playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
[Verse 3]
You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickеl, 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Hey
