Early in the evenin',
Just about suppertime,
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 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.
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out
On his Kalamazoo.(1)
And Willy goes into a dance,
Devil's on the loose.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy 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'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 playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet...
Just about suppertime,
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 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.
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out
On his Kalamazoo.(1)
And Willy goes into a dance,
Devil's on the loose.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy 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'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 playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner,
Out in the street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet...
