Early in the evening just about supper time

[WordWolf]

"Down on the Corner."   At the moment, I don't actually have a nickel in my pocket, for reasons that should be obvious in hindsight. :)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

George

[WordWolf]

I would have.  At that hour, I'm usually not carrying change in my pockets.  During the day, I don't carry much change, and it generally isn't US coinage, obviously.

I remember hearing it just the other day, a pretty wild song.  I think I recollect the name different because this was years ago now but, a friend of mine used to bounce at a bar called the Funny Farm.  It was quite a wild club.

Really George?  You got it confused with "People say we monkey around" didn't you?

This puts WordWolf out for the round, he's never heard of Johnny Rivers or "Secret Agent Man", anyway, according to him.

But now I'm up.
