Early on the evening, just about suppertime
|
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
|
Poor kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
|
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start
|
|
Down on the corner
|
Out in the street
|
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
|
Bring a nickel tap your feet
|
|
Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
|
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
|
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
|
And Willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey!
|
|
Down on the corner
|
Out in the street
|
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
|
Bring a nickel tap your feet
|
|
Down on the corner
|
Out in the street
|
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
|
Bring a nickel tap your feet
|
|
Down on the corner
|
Out in the street
|
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
|
Bring a nickel tap your feet
|
|
You don't need a penny just to hang around
|
But if you got a nickel won't ya 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
|
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
|
Bring a nickel tap your feet
|
|
[fade out...]
