"Down On The Corner" lyrics

"Down On The Corner"

Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Four kids on the corner, tryin' 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

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

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

Boy, tap your feet now
Yeah

You don't need a penny, just to hang around
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 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

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

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

Give me that nickel, honey
Pay me, pay me my money
