Early in the evenin' just about supper time

Over by the courthouse, starting to unwind

Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up

Willy picks a tune out, 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

Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo



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 boys
