Early in the evening just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting 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 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 solo for a while
Poor boy 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
And again
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, ooh, there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boys
Here we go
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Come on!
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)
Down on the corner, out in the street
(Willy and the poor boys)
Willy and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet(tap your feet)
Willy and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, ooh, tap your feet
Yeah
