Down On The Corner

Early on the evening, just about suppertime

Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind

Poor kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up

Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start





Down on the corner

Out in the street

Willie and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel tap your feet





Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile

Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while

Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo

And willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey!





Down on the corner

Out in the street

Willie and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel tap your feet





Down on the corner

Out in the street

Willie and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel tap your feet





Down on the corner

Out in the street

Willie 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 got a nickel won't ya 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

Willie and the poor boys are playin'

Bring a nickel tap your feet



(repeat and fade)
