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.
w____ picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Down on the corner, out in the street,
w____ 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.
w____ goes into a dance and doubles on gazoo.

Down on the corner, out in the street,
w____ and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street,
w____ 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'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 street,
w____ and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
w____ and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
w____ and the Poor Boys are playin',
Bring a nickel, tap your feet. [FADE]
