C                      G                 C
Early in the evenin', just about supper time.
Over by the courthouse,
          G            C
they're starting to unwind.
 F                         C
Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up.
                                G              C
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Chorus:
 F           C       G            C
Down on the corner, out in the street.
               F              C
Willy and the Poorboys are playin',
         G                C
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

Chorus - x2

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

Chorus - x4
