Lyrics
Corner shop, the bell goes ding Kids line up for everything Pennies in a sticky hand Best sweet shop in all the land Open the jar, open the jar Penny sweets, sweet as the stars Open the jar, open the jar Dance on down the corner shop floor Shopkeeper smiles, weighs it out Paper bag, a happy shout Lemon drops and cola bears Skipping home with sugar to share Open the jar, open the jar Penny sweets, sweet as the stars Open the jar, open the jar Dance on down the corner shop floor Hey! One for you! Hey! One for me! Hey! Share it round! Sweet as can be! Counter high and eyes so wide Choose them slow, don't be shy Corner shop keeps summer near Ding goes the bell, we're all here Open the jar, open the jar Penny sweets, sweet as the stars Open the jar, open the jar Dance on down the corner shop floor Open the jar! Ding goes the bell!
