Down On the Corner
Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' 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 got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass, and he solos 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 here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Come on, Leo
Oh, yeah
Down on the corner, out here 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 here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out here in the street
Leo and the Poor Boys are playin' (yeah)
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out here in the street
Adam and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' 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 got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass, and he solos 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 here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Come on, Leo
Oh, yeah
Down on the corner, out here 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 here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out here in the street
Leo and the Poor Boys are playin' (yeah)
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out here in the street
Adam and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
