Miriam Makeba - Down On The Corner lyrics
[Miriam Makeba - Down On The Corner lyrics]
Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying
To bring you up willy picks a tune out
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 hit's the washboard and people
Just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and
Solos for a while poor boy twangs the rhythm
Out on his kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
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
Over by the courthouse, starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying
To bring you up willy picks a tune out
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 hit's the washboard and people
Just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and
Solos for a while poor boy twangs the rhythm
Out on his kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
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
