early in the evening just about supper time
over by the courthouse they're 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 playing
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 playing
bring a nickel
tap your feet. down on the corner
out in the street
willy and the poorboys are playing
bring a nickel
tap your feet. you don't need a penny just to hang around
but if you've got a nickel
won't you lay your money down?
over on the corner there's 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 playing
bring a nickel
tap your feet
down on the corner
out in the street
willy and the poorboys are playing
bring a nickel
tap your feet
down on the corner
out in the street
willy and the poorboys are playing
bring a nickel
tap your feet
tap your feet
willy and the poorboys are playing
bring a nickel
tap your feet
