Lyrics

Early in the evenin'
Just about supper time
Over by the courthouse
They're startin' to unwind
Four kids on the corner
Tryin' 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
People just gotta smile
Blinky thumps a gut bass
And solos for a while
Poorboy 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 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
Down on the corner
Out in the street
