Down On The Corner
Miriam Makeba

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 hits 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
