But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Down on the corner, out in the street
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
You don't need a penny just to hang around
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Down on the corner, out in the street
Down on the corner, out in the street
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
