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 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.

|
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.
