Ear -ly in the evening just around 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 gotta smile,

Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while

Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo.

And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on Kazoo.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

Willy and the Poorboys are playin’, bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street,

Willy and the Poorboys 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 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 Poorboys are playin’, bring a nickel, tap your feet.
