Down on the corner
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Down on the corner
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Out in the street
Willie picks a tune out, he knows they gonna start
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Down on the corner
But if you got a nickel, won't you lay your money down
Down on the corner
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
And Willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, hey
Bring a nickel tap your feet
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Say, down on the corner
Poor Boy brings the rhythm on his Kalamazoo
Down on the corner
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Poor Kids on the corner tryin' to bring it up
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Out in the street
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Out in the street
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin'
You don't need a penny, just to hang around
Down on the corner
