LYRICS FOR "Down on the Corner"

Early in the evening, just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're startin' to unwind
Poor Kids on the corner tryin' to bring it up
Willie picks a tune out, 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

Say, 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 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
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
