Lyrics: Early in the evenin' just about supper time Over by the courthouse, starting to unwind Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up Willy picks a tune out, 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 Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo 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 boys Down on the corner, out in the street Willy and the poor boys are playin' Bring a nickel, tap your feet |
