Early in the evening
Just about supper time
Over by the courthouse

They`re startin` to unwind
Poor 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 streets
Willy and the poor boys

Are playin`
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Brewster hits the white road
And people just gotta smile

Lucy thumps the gut bass
And solo`s for a while
Poor boy twangs a rhythm out
On his calamazoo

And Willy goes into a dance
And doubles on cazoo
Down on the corner
Out in the streets

Willy and the poor boys
Are playin`
Bring a nickel tap your feet



Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the poor boys

Are playin`
Bring a nickel tap your feet
You don`t need a pinhead
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 door

People come from all around
To watch the magic boy
Down on the corner
Out in the streets

Willy and the poor boys
Are playin`
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Down on the corner

Out in the streets
Willy and the poor boys
Are playin`
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the streets
Willy and the poor boys
Are playin`

Bring a nickel tap your feet
