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 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 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 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
