Down On The Corner Lyrics

Early in the evenin',
Just about suppertime,
Over by the courthouse,
They're starting to unwind.
Four 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 street,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
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.(1)
And Willy goes into a dance,
Devil's on the loose.

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',
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

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.

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,
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet...
