Early in the evenin just about supper time
C G C
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
F C
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up

Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
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
C G
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
C G C
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
F C
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
C G C
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
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
(chorus x 2)
You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if youve got a nickel wont you lay your money down
Over on the corner theres a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Down on the corner out in the street
Willy and the poorboys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet
(chorus x 3)
