Early in the evenin',
just about supper time,
over by the court house
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 poor boys are playin'
bring a nickel
tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard
and people just got 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 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'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 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.

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.
