down on the corner

Early in the evenin just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse theyre 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 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 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 dont need a penny just to hang around,
But if youve got a nickel, wont you lay your money down?
Over on the corner theres 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.
