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 your 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 your nickel, tap your feet



Down on the corner, out in the street

Willy and the Poorboys are playin'

Bring your 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 hear the magic boys



Down on the corner, out in the street

Willy and the poorboys are playin'

Bring your nickel, tap your feet



(Repeat....)
