Corner Store Lyrics

Outside the corner a different world Conversation overheard, oh Between a man and a saxophone Saxophone and mister drunk and stoned, oh
He only knows one melody You know which one I mean I drop some change in his hat And leave
Walk into the corner store With neon signs and revolving doors, oh As if just to add to the atmosphere
The man behind the counter Has a snow white beard That goes all the way down to the floor I like the music on the radio You know which one I mean
And this is how it goes Da da, da da, da da, da da
Outside on the public phone There he is again mister drunk and stoned, oh He’s got no money but a golden smile Sidewalk torero wave me by, oh
I’m whistling his melody You know which one I mean Suddenly he stops playing And looks at me
And the band goes Da da, da da, da da, da da
