Early in the evenin just about supper time, Over by the courthouse theyre 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 dont need a penny just to hang around, But if youve got a nickel, wont you lay your money down? Over on the corner theres a happy noise. People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
Chorus Chorus Chorus
