Early in the evenin just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse theyre starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poorboys are playin;
bring a nickel; tap your feet,
Down on the corner, out in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet,
You dont need a penny just to hang around,
But if youve got a nickel, wont you lay your money down?
Over on the corner theres a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet,
Down on the corner, out in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet,
Down on the corner, out in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet,
