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 gotta smile. Blinky thumps the
gut bass and solos for a while. Poorboy 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 Poorboys are playin',
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Riff 1 Riff 1 Riff 2 Riff 1

You don't need a penny just to hang around. But if you got a nickel, won't

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.
