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
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 poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard
People just gotta smile
Blinky thumps a gut bass
And solos for a while

Poorboy twangs the rhythm out
On his kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance
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

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
