Early in the evenin', just about supper time Over by the courthouse, they're startin' 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 Poor Boys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile Blinky thumps the gut ba** and solos for a while Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out, on his Kalamazoo And Willy goes into a dance, doubles on kazoo Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet Down on the corner
Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys 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 Poor Boys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet
