Hot Corn 1908

Standing on the corner
with a can of corn
Looking mighty lonesome
with an apron on,
Rain or shine he's on the job
with hot corn on the cob.
Early ev'ry morning until
late at night,
You can hear him yelling "Corn"
with all his might,
you've cert'nly got to buy them
if he comes your way
That's if you hear him say.

Hot corn
good and greasy
Hot corn
eat them easy,
nice and juicy
fresh from the south
country butter on them
makes them melt in your mouth.
Hot corn
just taste them
Hot corn
you wouldn't waste them
nice and steaming
in the pan
buy hot corn
from the hot corn man.

Hot corn
good and greasy
Hot corn
eat them easy,
nice and juicy
fresh from the south
country butter on them
makes them melt in your mouth.
Hot corn
just taste them
Hot corn
you wouldn't waste them
nice and steaming
in the pan
buy hot corn
from the hot corn man.

Peddling for a livelihood
is his delight
when he's selling corn
you get an appetite,
If you like them good and hot
he's Johnny on the spot.
Ev'rybody's 'quainted with him
that is true
and when he's round
you got to buy
an ear or two,
Down the street he comes
a hopping long
yelling good and strong:

Hot corn
good and greasy
Hot corn
eat them easy,
nice and juicy
fresh from the south
country butter on them
makes them melt in your mouth.
Hot corn
just taste them
Hot corn
you wouldn't waste them
nice and steaming
in the pan
buy hot corn
from the hot corn man.

Hot corn

Hot corn

nice and juicy
fresh from the south
country butter on them
makes them melt in your mouth.
Hot corn
just taste them
Hot corn
you wouldn't waste them
nice and steaming
in the pan
buy hot corn
from the hot corn man.
