[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Down On The Corner out in the street Willy and the Poorboys are playing Bring a nickel; tap your feet [Verse 2] Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile Blinky thumps the gut ba** and solos for a while Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo [Chorus][x2] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus][x3]
