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 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 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
