Lyrics
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 poor boys 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 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 boys
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
