Kids On The Corner Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We'[C]re [G]the[A][D][G]
[C]kids on the corner
muck[D]ing about in the [G]street.
We're kicking bricks and chucking sticks
and [A]knocking round with [D]kids we meet.
The [G]games we play go [D]on all day,
[G]we're out in sun or [D]sleet.
We've had a [G]park,
it's [Em]quite a [D]lot,
just mucking about in the [G]street.
We're running and [C]jumping and
[G]hopping and skipping
and [D]chucking old bricks
at the [G]cats on the wall.
We're [C]yelling and screaming and [D]hiding and seeking with
back alley cricket with bat and a ball.
How's that?
[G]Sociology [C]students stud
[D]ied their kids in the [G]street
One lad was bright
and [C]thought he'd write a [A]book
And [D]so made us repeat our [G]rhymes
and names [D]of all the games
And [G]now his book's com[D]plete,
he's [G]never skint
He's made a [D]mint
not mucking about in the [G]street
[C]Jumping, [G]starting, [D]stopping, tripping
Hid[C]ing, [G]seeking, [D]hopping,
skipping
Mucking about around the corner
[G]When the arm of the [C]law
comes [D]prowling around on his [G]beat
We lie in wait to confis
[A]cate his helmet,
then run [D]down the street.
He [G]joins the chase at [D]quite a pace,
des[G]pite his monstrous feet.
[D]Polic[G]emen say they
[C]waste their [D]day
just mucking about in the
[G]street.
[C]We're running and jumping and
[D]hopping and [G]slipping and stomping,
all [D]because of the [G]trips on
the wall.
[C]We're yelling and screaming and
[D]hiding and kicking,
we've got ally picket,
we've gotten a ball,
mucking about around the corner.
[G]Ladies sent from the [C]welfare,
in[D]terview kids in the street.
[G]With anxious frown they write it [D]down,
we [A]tell some tales you [D]can't repeat.
We say that daddy's staring mad
and [G]mum drinks [D]whisky neat
High [G]notes are packed with fibs,
in [D]fact we're bucking
a butt in the [G]street
We're [C]running and jumping and
[G]popping and sniffing
and [D]chucking old bricks
at the cracks on the wall
We're [C]yelling and screaming and
[G]hiding and sneaking
with [D]Buckalee cricket,
we're scatting a beat
Bucking a butt around the corner,
[G]we're the kids on the [C]corner
Buck[D]ing a butt in the [G]street,
we're kicking bricks and chucking [A]sticks
And knocking round with
[D]kids we meet,
[G]games we play go [D]on all day
We're [G]out in sun or [D]sleep,
we're out of [G]pockets [C]quite a lot
Just [D]muckin' about in the [G]street
Without a fog, it's [C]quite a [D]lot
Just muckin' about in the [G]street[F#]
