Title:  down on the corner

Composer:  Joe Raposo

Lead vocals:  Short Circus #2

Backing vocals:  none

Scene:  The kids hanging around a street corner.

[SC]  La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.

La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.

When you’re wandering through the day

With lots of nothing much in mind,

Or things just haven’t gone your way,

And you’re looking to unwind,

Go down to the corner.  Go down to the corner.

Lots of things are happening on the corner.

La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.

[JA]  They’ve just opened up the hydrant,

And the spray is really cool.

And there’s a fellow selling ices

Guaranteed to make you drool,

[SC]  Down on the corner.  Down on the corner.

Lots of things are happening on the corner.

La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.

[SG]  You can always find somebody

With some baseball cards to trade.

And it may be just a rumor,

But I hear there’s a parade

[SC]  Down on the corner.  Down on the corner.

Lots of things are happening on the corner.

La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.

La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.

So when you’re wandering through the day

With lots of nothing on your mind,

Or things just haven’t gone your way,

And you’re looking to unwind,

Go down to the corner.  Go down to the corner.

Lots of things are happening on the corner.

Go down to the corner.  Go down to the corner.

Lots of things are happening on the corner.

Go down to the corner.  Go down to the corner,

And see what you can find.

La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.

La-la, la-la-la la-la, la-la-la-la la-la, la-la-la la-la.
