Brazilian Girls Corner Store Lyrics

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
