Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind.
Poor kids on the corner try to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the hum.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poor boys are playin';
Bring a nickel. Tap your feet.
Gersta hits the white bow. People just gotta smile.
Lucas thumbs a gut-bass, yeah, solos for a while.
Poor boy brings the rhythym out on his kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance; doubles on his lou.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poor boys are playin';
Bring a nickel. Tap your feet.
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 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,
Willy and the poor boys are playin';
Bring a nickel. Tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poor boys are playin';
Bring a nickel. Tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poor boys are playin';
Bring a nickel. Tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street
