down on the corner

early in the evenin'

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 playin'

bring your nickel

tap your feet

rooster hits the washboard people just got to smile

blinky

thumps the gut bass and he solos for a while

poorboy twangs the rhythm man 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 your nickel

tap your feet

down on the corner

out in the street

willy and the poorboys are playin'

bring your 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 hear the magic boys

down on the corner

out in the street

willy and the poorboys are playin'

bring your nickel

tap your feet

down on the corner

out in the street

willy and the poorboys are playin'

bring your nickel

tap your feet

down on the corner

out in the street

willy and the poorboys are playin'

bring your nickel

tap your feet

down on the corner

out in the street

willy and the poorboys are playin'

bring your nickel

tap your feet

down on the corner
