Early on the evening 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 poor boys are playin' Bring a nickel tap your feet Rooster hits the washboard and people just got a smile Blink thumps a 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 got a nickel won't you lay your money down? Over on the corner there's a happynoise People come from all around to watch the magic boy 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
