Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playing Bring a nickel, tap your feet Early in the evening 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 Poor Boys are playing 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 Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out On his Kalamazoo And Willy goes into a dance And doubles on kazoo Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playing Bring a nickel, tap your feet Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playing 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 playing Bring a nickel, tap your feet Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playing Bring a nickel, tap your feet Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playing Bring a nickel, tap your feet Down on the corner Out in the street Willy and the Poor Boys are playing Bring a nickel, tap your feet
