OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
*Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
Poor kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Circle left
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Allemande left and promenade
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head couples lead to the right and circle up four tonight
Break out and make a line and now pass thru
Tag the line, face out, you do the partner trade and then
A right & left thru, turn the girls
Slide thru and an eight chain five
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Swing your corner, promenade
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Well Rooster hits a washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky pumps a good bass and he solo's for a while
Poor boy twangs a rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Willie goes into a dance and he doubles on kazoo
*Now 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 them magic boys
