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.

CHORUS:
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 got to 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.

CHORUS

CHORUS

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 boys.
